Should be getting mine October - December, but I have some questions about the Qi Charging for the phone. All I can find is the 15 Watt output for the Qi Charging. Anyone use something like Ampere or AccuBattery to see how many amps are actually coming through when charging? Math says without loss it should be around 3 amps (at 5 Volts). I am aware of the heating issue on some phones. I just am looking for baseline information here. Thanks!

Is "Qi" even a word? You kids and your crazy spellings!

I tried Ampere on my iPhone15 but Apple has curtailed API access of detailed power info, so it's just doing a "change in battery percentage over time" analysis with low accuracy.

I believe the 15W, I'm simply unable to get proper coil alignment to take advange of it. Phones with different form-factors may have better luck.
