iOS 11.2 enables 7.5W wireless charging for iPhone 8 and iPhone X

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/qi-fast-charging-iphone.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p><strong>Update</strong>: We have tested wireless charging speeds running the latest iOS 11.2 beta and have been unable to notice a meaningful difference in how quickly the iPhone 8 charged on a 7.5 watt Qi charger compared to a  5w Qi charger.</p>
<p>The release of iOS 11.2 will bring faster wireless charging speeds for Apple’s latest iPhones: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X (via MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/11/14/ios-11-2-faster-wireless-charging-iphone-x/)).</p>
<p>Right now, all wireless charging on the 2017 iPhones runs at a maximum of 5 watts. The update will unlock 7.5 watt Qi charging for the Belkin BOOST UP Wireless Charging Pad (http://amzn.to/2yAtnyW) and Mophie Wireless Charging Base (http://amzn.to/2zJgOmm).</p>
