Wireless charging isn't all that needed IMO. It's kind of old technology, my phone had it 10 years ago but none of my phones have had it since and I haven't really missed it because USB C charging is fast enough where wireless charging isn't really necessary.

It's also a gimmick afaic, it's not "Wireless" to me until it can charge contactless from a distance. This not-really-wireless wireless crap just moved the connection and made it magnetic instead of a plug. It's a glorified magsafe lmao

Hell yeah, dont understand why people are big about this while it just contact charging. It doesnt even charge phone fast nor efficient. Funny people keep bragging about waste while they use inefficient charging method which waste more energy.

It's inefficient, but it doesn't depend on a finnicky-ass charging port so that's nice.

When Apple goes USB-C on iPhones, I will unfortunately have to start using wireless charging, because USB-C ports are so annoying to clean compared to Lightning, I don't plan on having a functional one after a year of owning a USB-C phone.

I'd never want to get rid of wired charging, but wireless is a really nice option. I'm never able to find a good angle/spot for my phone in my car with a wire sticking out of it. Even with a dashboard mount, I would prefer the mount itself be powered to avoid having the cable just hanging with the pull of gravity on it.
