Apple finally gave in and decided that AirPower is not meant to be. That is its loss because there are plenty of options to choose from out there. From stands that charge up to three devices at once to regular wireless chargers meant to charge just your iPhone (or whatever device you use), the options are truly endless. Here are our picks for the best wireless chargers for your iPhone in 2019.
