Wireless Charging Receiver for iPhone 6

Product Description

iQi for iPhone is a Qi standard wireless charging receiver with a uniquely designed lightning connector attached via an ultra-thin flexible ribbon cable. The iQi for iPhone powers your iPhone conveniently through the lightning connector, that seamlessly disappears behind your soft case.

Step 1: Insert iQi Mobile into the Lightning port of your iPhone. Gently bend it around the back of the phone. Ensure silver iQi logo is facing up.
Step 2: While holding iQi Mobile secure in the middle, gently slide the phone into the case starting with the port and proceeding with the upper parts of the iPhone.
Step 3: Your iPhone is ready to charge!
Step 4: To start charging, simply place your iPhone on a compatible Wireless Charger such as WoodPuck: Bamboo Edition.

Brand new in box. Received in timely manner. Easy to install.

Okay, I've had this product for a couple of months now and here is my updated review.
1. The charger is still working with my iPhone 7+. Have had no issues.
2. It gets very HOT when charging and is very SLOW to charge.
3. When I need to charge it quickly thru the lightening cable, it's a pain to have to keep removing the plug from iQi.
4.I'm going to have to reorder a new iQi bc my fingernail just split the cable. :/
5. Would I recommend this? Maybe not. With the heat this thing generates while charging and how slow it charges seems that it's not as feasible as a lightening cable.
6. I've not had issues with charging or using the iQi with my phone case, just that it's a pain when I need to use the lightening cable or the AUX jack...:/

Fits Spigen Wireless Tough Armor Case for Apple iPhone 6 / 6S
by Mike G (3 out of 5 stars)

So far so good. I will update this review in a few months. One thing to note, this will fit perfectly inside a Spigen Wireless Tough Armor Case for Apple iPhone 6 / 6S as a replacement.

Edit 2017-09-09: I ordered another one; this time it failed only after 3-4 re-insertions. Why did I have to remove and reinsert the connectors when I said in my last update I wouldn't have to do them anymore? Removing it from the case to cool it from over heating. As noted in other review, this receiver produces a lot of heat; enough that when in the Spigen Tough Armor case and sitting on the car dash charging in a Spigen Qi Wireless Charger / Car Phone holder, it will cause the iPhone to overheat on a summer day in Texas. I also rigged a Qi charging pad for the phone holder on my motorcycle; after 30-60 minutes out in the sun with the charger on, it overheats (as opposed to taking hours normally when not charging.) This is a good concept, but until the heating issue is resolved, I will be looking for another receiver for my case that doesn't produce as much heat.

Edit 2017-05-05: This has stopped working. The charging plug-in strip will not handle more than 10-20 removal/insertions. Unfortunately I would buy this again as it is the only one that fits in the case. (& I imagine insertions/removals would no longer be an issue as I now have wireless syncing setup on my iPhone.

Worked great and then no go. Great concept though.

This product seems like a good work around to the constant problem my family has with the ipod/iPhone cables always failing at the base of the connection to the phone. the wire coating seems to always crack. So I figured this may be the answer. I finally received an android phone that support qi and thought why not give this a go.

The first one worked great for 5 days before failing. That's when the dreaded apple device not supported message would appear. The chargers I used would detect it, but then it seemed to drain the battery more than charge it. I thought it could be the charger, so I tried it on a powerboat (never buy puck style chargers) a TYLT charger (best there is but $$$$) and ravpower chargers. Ravpower works pretty well for costing less than the TYLT charger but at less amps.

Back on topic. I read reviews and thought if these lasted a few months then I would be ahead of the game. Unfortunately, as stated above, didn't last a week. Tried it with it just taped to the ipod touch, inside a hard case and other various cases. All worked and then stopped. It's quite unfortunate because it appears as if its a great solution to apple not having qi devices yet. The ribbon is thin but not that fragile. I had the Qi logo facing down and the pins on the ribbon down as well when plugged in.

It is an expensive workaround but one I would have gladly put up with if apple supported the product and reliability was better.

I said if the first one works I would get a second one and I also ordered additional chargers. Unfortunately for me I have to pay the ups charges for the 2 chargers that are unopened and also return the iqi cards. All in all it's a $7.00 lesson.

Two stars because it is a good attempt, but the cost and reliability are the reasons I cannot recommend this product at this time.

I was NOT given one to use and review so take my review with a grain of salt.

It was great while it worked.

I've had mine for over a month now and use it on a 5c. It stopped working properly a few days ago.

Right now when i attempt to use it, it does the charging sound and appears to be charging. After a while, when i return i notice that the battery got lower. Not higher. I left it charging at 74% and returned after half an hour to find it at 70% with the charging indicator still showing and the phone slightly warm. I checked the position of the phone and the qi charger and its fine. I use the TYLT VU charger so it doesn't take much to position it properly.

To be fair, i have taken it off a few times. maybe around 5 or 6 times in total. So it might be my fault that it stopped working. But whenever i take it off, i do it very slowly/carefully.

Also a friend of mine uses this on a 5s and has yet to take it off. It's still working perfectly. So before i get another, i just have to ask, how many times can a user take this thing off before it breaks?

It was GREAT the 2 months it LASTED.

Well, It was GREAT while it lasted. I bought three base chargers and this iqi for my ipod touch. I installed a base in my car. It was so convenient. But, it only lasted 2 months. I've written the company. We will see where that leads me( I'll update afterward). It did get quite warm while charging, and it did charge quickly. I would prefer a slower charge, with less heat and longer life. Two months isn't worth the price. It should last as long as I have the ipod. Mainly because the tech become obsolete all too fast anyway!! Like I said, the iQi was GREAT WHILE IT LASTED.

This little thing is great. The new iPhones

This little thing is great. The new iPhones, iPhone 8 and iPhone X, support the wireless charging technology. However, the older ones do not.

Buy this, and you will be able to charge your iPhone 5, 6, or 7 using your wireless charging pad.

It's a snap to install, too. I'm a real klutz, and it took me just a few seconds to get it installed, and my old iPhone 6S charging up!

Works with iPhone 6 and latest iOS. I'm using ...
by Bryan williams (5 out of 5 stars)

Works with iPhone 6 and latest iOS. I'm using a Nokia DT-900 charging plate that came with my previous Lumia phone. Also a JETech Slim-Fit case.

I got the "not authentic" error that others have reported once on the first day. Placement is not as forgiving as a phone with built-in Qi. You have to line the receiver up with the transmitter in the charging plate. Once I figured out where to place the phone on the charging plate the error went away.

Did not work/Wasted $$
by JW (1 out of 5 stars)

Item was shipped and received in timely manner, as promised. The product, itself, was as-described, and is very thin/fits under device case well. It worked for wireless charging for a few minutes, initially, but then quit after only several minutes. Did not work consistently after that. Some adaptations work well...this didn't work for my daughter's iPod, unfortunately.

Can't use a regular charger if you install this without removing it and it didn't work at all after one days use
