Traditionally, we charge our phones from a wall charger, or if we’re on the go we’ll charge our phones from a power bank that we charge from the wall. Believe it or not, there’s now alternative or “green” charging options for charging your Google Pixel 2 XL — really any phone — and your power
The iPhone X is Apple’s idea of revolutionizing the iPhone, and with it, finally comes with Qi wireless charging. That means that if you purchase a wireless charger, you don’t have to worry about damaging your lightning port by plugging it in and out day in and day out. Not only that, but you don’t
