Lol - iPhones since the iPhone 8 have been Qi compatible and this is a Qi pad.
Sorry man, but having this charger engineered only to work with the most common models (5.8-6.1" phones) without having a adjustable ledge/multiple coils inside to meet the needs of the other variants (5.4"-6.8") is, indeed, a design flaw.
Right from the listing: â*Note: This item is compatible with all wireless charging phones,â
Look at the Apple approved design. I have a flat charger as they intended. You can make a ledge for it (might look ghetto) or grumble. Or you can go to the bother to return - itâs all up to you. Since this is Woot, you may have to pay for return shipping unless you purchased via Prime.
I prefer plug in as it is more energy efficient by typically 15 to 20%. Some Qi chargers from even âname brandâ companies are fire hazards due to design.
My experience and reading was prior returns at least without purchase via Prime had a less than friendly RMA process compared to Amazon. As stated, he MAY need to pay for return shipping. Meaning he may not. Itâs still is a hassle.
I have a Qi charger. I donât use it because of what I read about energy transfer efficiency and warming. See above for detailed reasons why.
You can read the citations and decide for yourself whether heating issues exist and whether you want to risk your equipment. I choose not to for the reasons the articles listed in good detail.
Furthermore, "No degree of acceptability, or level of safety or protection should be implied in promotional materials of a UL certified product, system, process or facility."
The UL Listed seal means that the product has been tested by UL to nationally recognized safety and sustainability standards. Additionally, it has been found to be free from a reasonably foreseeable risk of fire, electric shock in a Division 2 environment.
Guarantee that it doesnât matter if youâre a prime customer or not. Generally, we do not charge return shipping unless youâre abusing our return policy. In that case, wellâŚ
Respectfully this is a cut and paste quote: Sure sounds like the cost of shipping is deducted out of any refund if the item is ânot damaged or defective.â If the item is not broken and functions fine, cost of shipping sure sounds like it is removed from any refunded amount. Amazon differs. They pay cost of shipping. In some low cost cases, they said, donât even send it back and credited full amount.
Thank you for reading it and assuring me that I was not hallucinating. It is the old pre Amazon acquisition wording. Policies may change under new management.
As an update to the actual item, the manufacturer confirmed that this item is not designed for an iPhone 12 mini. Only 5.8"-6.2" phones. Seems to be an oversight not listed on the item listing.
Therefore, it is defective based on what was promised. The manufacturer suggested I initiate a return to Woot. I am a Prime customer as well.
Weâre you replying to me specifically? I was worried about how bright the LEDs were on my nightstand. I wanted it darker. Nothing about radiation, magnetic or otherwise.
