Reddit mentions of Anker PowerWave Fast Wireless Charging Pad, Qi-Certified, 7.5W Compatible iPhone XR/Xs Max/XS/X/8/8 Plus, 10W Compatible Galaxy S9/S9+/S8/S8+/LG G7, and 5W for All Qi-Enabled Phones (No AC Adapter)

Wirecutter has a decent guide on this and they seem to stand by Samsung's, tho they haven't really updated it to take 10W charging into account and Anker has released like three newer pads since that was written so maybe it's not so useful.

I'm annoyed that all seem to require a Qualcomm QC charger for 10W (outside of Google's stand). I never had a QC phone (went from the Nexus 5 to an OG Pixel) and already have a bunch of USB PD chargers, not to mention a couple USB-C 5V/3A outlets in my house; but will still need a new charger for any 10W pad, bleh.

Anyway, I'm liking the looks and functionality of this iOttie... It seems to make some attempt at venting the pad area better than most and has an extra Type A port, plus it has a Type C input even if it still requires a QC charger (comes with one tho, and A to C cable). I'll probably get that for my nightstand.

I'll probably get Google's Stand for my desk to see how their special functionality works and because it uses their standard 18W USB PD charger (I already have longer cables etc.). Might get this IKEA 3x device pad for the living room since there's one other Qi user in the household (and my Nexus 7 is still knocking around).

If you're just looking for a cheaper but decent quality pad, these two Ankers seem like a good bet as well as this Spigen. I'll probably get the second fan-less black Anker for travel and/or the kitchen. I had LG, Google (the one with magnets), and Pleson pads along with a Nokia stand when I had my Nexus 5, but gave most of them away when I got the Pixel.

Edit: As pointed out before, this other Anker might be their most interesting one, it came out last month and it might be the only one with USB-C in, I'm not even seeing it on their site.

Alright so the Anker one worked, but I also picked up the Pixel stand to compare. Think I might actually like the stand, will see. With having to get QC 3.0 adapter the Anker still came up to around 55, Pixel Stand was on sale for $80.

Your best bet would be to start by listing the apps you use frequently/like the most on your Android phone. Some of the bigger-name apps probably have equivalent versions on the iOS App Store. For the rest, you could probably ask around and in /r/IPhoneApps about what apps work best on iOS to replace the ones on Android.

​

The Move to iOS app is definitely the best way to migrate your data over. It should pretty effectively move everything over.

​

Definitely get a Qi charging pad if you don't have one already. If you already have Android charging pads, they'll work for regular (slow) charging on your iPhone. For fast charging, these are a decent price.

​

And as far as nuances with the iPhone XS/Max, this video from Apple does a pretty good job of laying out the basics, particularly what's changed from non-FaceID iPhones, though it does have the typical Apple cheese to it.

Eh, Anker has a 7.5W wireless charger for under $17 right now. You need a QC-compatible wall charger to go with it, but Anker also has one of those for $13.99. The total cost for the whole setup is a bit over $30. That's pretty cheap by my standards...

PowerWave 10 does not supply 7.5W, but PowerWave 7.5 supplies 10W. Yes, it’s quite confusing.

FYI, the Black 7.5 Pad is on sale right now....
