I guess I'm one of the few people who prefers wireless charging. I haven't used a cable in my phone for years
I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.
Although, to be fair, it does kind of product extra waste in the short term. I’m definitely going to be trashing a decade of lightning crap and buying USB C cables.
I have some USB C cables in the house already, but I don’t want to be crawling behind things to unplug / replug stuff or carry cables from place to place. I also want to be able to charge two things in one place at the same time. Laptop and phone. Phone and headphones, etc.
With 2 bedside tables, 2 work desks, 2 cars, and another random living room charge spot in the house, I’m probably going to replace about 7 cables.
Thats what usb c is for? So that you dont need to screw around with random cables? Blame apple for refusing the standard
I guess I don't need to use my phone when it's charging as much as most people, or maybe just don't use my phone as much period
I don't like that in order to use my phone while it's charging on a wireless charger, I need to pick up the whole wireless charger, wire and all, and then it kind of defeats the purpose.
I think it doesn't work well for people who need to have their phones in their hands at all times (me).
