Don't just do something — sit there!

Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones whose newer Android phone is already listed here as “Qi integrated”. You don’t need anything extra to start wirelessly charging your Samsung Note 5, Samsung S6, Nexus 4/5/6/7, etc. Yay for you. Android FTW and so on.

If you’re rocking an iPhone, maybe you’re hoping that keynote in a couple of weeks will herald a new iPhone with built-in wireless charging capability. If Apple can throw a keynote party over a fingerprint reader, wireless charging would be worthy of angels descending with trumpets of joy. Hosannahs! Now you can spend a couple of hundred bucks on a new phone, and maybe sign a new contract! That’s if there’s a new iPhone with wireless charging, which is far from a sure bet.

Or you could just pay $25-$30 right now to upgrade your iPhone (or older Android) with the ability to charge while it’s sitting on your nightstand or desk, whether or not you remember to plug it in, and skip the jokes about Craig Federighi’s hair. Here’s how:

  1. Buy an adapter or “patch” (NOT sold here) for your phone. Here’s one for iPhones. Here’s one that claims to be universal for Android devices. It’s basically a sticker that goes on the back of your phone, so it can fit between your phone and your phone case.

  2. Buy this Panasonic Qi Wireless Charging Pad (DEFINITELY sold here). Plug it in wherever you tend to set down your phone for extended periods of time. Where before it would merely be sitting idly, now it’ll be topping up its charge. No screwing around with cables. No wondering where your cable is. No reaching way behind some stupid piece of furniture to plug your charging cable in. Just no charging cables, period.

Sure, it would be nice if Apple just built Qi charging receivers into the iPhones. But the only way that’s going to happen is if enough people are into wireless charging to make it worth their while. So we might have to use adapters for a couple of years before we reach that point. You put the sticker thing on, plug in the tip, forget about it. No big deal.

And just to entice you into the this strange new world of phone-charging ease, we’ll throw in a power bank to keep your phone alive during those times when you’re nowhere near your Qi charging pad. The power bank charges the normal way. As we said about the adapters, not even the overnight-charging revolution will happen overnight.

There you go. Now you can throw your own keynote. Say hi to Bono for us.
