ruleless charging

The only real positive is not wearing out the charge port and being able to charge even with a broken port

If you put wireless chargers in your usual phone drop spots, you never have to think about charging again. A different habit takes care of it. That's the appeal. I prefer a 2m charging cable to charge while using my phone, but my drop zone is in my pocket, so not appealing for me either 🤷‍♂️

Handy in a car i guess 🤔

Able type of good use for worked charging is for devices that don't move much or often. Things like wireless keyboards and mice. Wireless chargers allow you to basically never worry about battery life. And you can hide the cables with a little tinkering.

I want a wireless charger because I only charge my phone at night when I sleep so I don't care how fast it charges and the wire is difficult because I knock stuff off my table with it

Call me a conspiracy theorist but as a repair technician that works on phones "wireless charging" is a great excuse to have a glass back on the phone. A glass back that breaks very easily and is extremely expensive (therefore lucrative) to repair.

Most phones (all of Apples) require you to entirely gut the phone with it's dozens of components, screws, cables and many of which are strongly glued in requiring risky prying and pulling. All to then implant all of the components to a new chassis and do it all in reverse.

My charging port is fucked on mine that's why i use it. My night stand is also a full top wireless charging so simply setting it down anywhere it will charge. So in a way it's extremely convenient. As for efficiency i could care less. I have cheap power and the loss from wireless charging is lets be honest isn't going to show up on your electric bill anyways 🤷

Two reasons for me, but they’re mainly because of the MagSafe:

1. In the car, I just plop my phone onto the charger, and it holds it and charges it.
2. At home, I also use iOS 17 Beta, so I can use the StandBy.

Of course it has its drawbacks, but this assumes that I need to use my phone all the time (no), I can’t spare even 5 minutes to not charge, or that I need to top up from 10% to 100% in 5 minutes for some reason, which I don’t. If I do, then sure, I use the cable. Through the past year, I needed to charge my phone through the cable maybe twice.

MagSafe charges super fast and it magnetizes to the back of your phone. Much better than using a port that can wear out over time. Plus, you can rest your phone on your chest while laying down, even if it’s charging. I wasn’t convinced of wireless charging until I got a 15w MagSafe charger.

While I wouldn't buy one for my phone, my mouse is loading wireless since I can't be bothered to plug and unlpug it every time I game.

Well I sometimes even can't place the mouse on the right spot, but it is only a light movement
