This fall, Apple finally introduced Qi inductive charging, or wireless charging, to its iPhone 8 and X devices — and not a moment too soon, considering most manufacturers adopted the technology about five years ago.

But Apple is Apple, after all, so even though the company lagged its competitors, many expect its espousal of the Qi standard to make wireless charging a lot more popular and widespread in the near future. Translation: There will be a lot more wireless charging options for you to choose from in the near future — so how do you know which one is best for you and your device?
Whether you've got one of the new iPhones or even a Qi-compatible Android, Neva Tech's Qi Wireless Charging Pad could be a good place to start. According to the product listing, its slim, inconspicuous design features built-in charging intelligence that prevents your device from overheating or short-circuiting.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of a mince pie, it's a small sweet pie bursting with dried fruits and spices—a.k.a. mincemeat—that's eaten in the UK in the run-up to Christmas.

The bakery is encasing sweet, spicy mincemeat in croissant pastry to create a seasonal British-French fusion.
