Even though the charger has a LED light on the base to display the charging status of the smartphone. it is incompatible with the iPhone.

Based on the 3.1A and assuming at least 5V pass through, this should provide up to 15W of power. but iPhone 8/8 Plus and X top out at 7.5W. There's no doubt that the new type of wall plate provides homeowners with a convenient way to recharge iPhones or other Qi certified devices in the kitchen, bedroom or anywhere. The wall plate is available in select retailers like Lowe's for $65-70
