I hate wireless charging too, though. It’s inherently less efficient than wired, and you have less range of motion while charging. With a wire, I can still use my phone while it’s plugged in. Wireless charging needs to go away imo.
Couldn’t disagree more. Wireless charging with magnetic attachment like magsafe is a godsend for using my phone as a GPS. Just slap it onto it’s magnetic wireless charger and go. Pull it off when done. A million times better than the old chargers that grip the phone and then also having to plug it in every time I need to drive somewhere, then undo it all when I get there.
Phone manufacturers: “Man this glass stuff likes to shatter a lot no matter what we try to make it stronger. I know, let’s wrap the whole phone in it that’ll solve everything!!! 111”
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 hope everything just becomes brushed aluminum ffs. I hate all these glass back phones
Phones only have glass backs to let wireless charging work so I don’t see aluminium making a come back any time soon.

I interested in how your hate for wireless charging has anything to do with this thread?
We’ve had wireless charging in every single material back and it’s absolutely wonderful QOL improvement.
It can’t be done through metal backs, for what it’s worth.

Plastic also works, and is far more durable
