What are the features which became the first of its kind wireless accessory and its price?
LXORY not among the leading companies in the business of wireless chargers for mobile devices, but that she managed to be the first released wireless charger supports Apple Lightning cables. About it in a published resource theverge.com the article “The first Lightning-based wireless Qi charger is here” (“First wireless charger Qi-enabled Lightning is already here”) reports Chaim gartenberg (Chaim Gartenberg) 9to5mac.com.
Most wireless chargers are designed to transmit power from the electric wall outlet to the charging pad support ports MicroUSB, USB-C or other proprietary ports. In the new charging pad from LXORY called “LXORY Dual Wireless Charging Pad”, there is also and entry for the connector of the proprietary cable from Apple. Thus, the user does not have to change cables to switch between wired and wireless charging of your iPhone.

It should also be noted that, although the new charger from LXORY and supports Lightning cables, the new product is not certified as an official product with support for Lightning under the Apple MFi program, which, however, isn’t always able to say something about the quality and usability of the product.
