This will just lead to increased popularity of wireless charging
We've hit peak QI, almost.
Even Kindles have it now. Watches, phones, like 4 brands of earbuds I tested the other day (testing power share from the older samsungs), etc.
The only thing that doesn't have it in our house is my oura ring, which as a G2 is the last one I want to buy from what that company has become, so it's going to solve itself soon.
The only time I'd even use wireless charging is when I'm in bed. Any other time I need to be able to use my phone when it's charging.
MagSafe battery and all other MagSafe accessories🤷🏻♂️. I charge exclusively by MagSafe aka wireless.
It's just so incredibly sloooooow
I’ve never had time constraints and you don’t need two hands to charge your phone or have any cables dangling down. If you don’t use it, just put it on the charger. Done
You've never EVER had to just "charge real quick" before you head out with low battery? Really?
Nope, I’m pretty well organized. Even then, you can take a MagSafe battery pack with you.
If it works for you then that's what matters!
