Inductive charging doesn’t work very well (if at all) through metal.

And plastic is apparently a dirty word (one-time use plastic should be, mind you), even though most iPhone owners are also buying I plenty of Patagonia micro plastic fleeces.

I miss the times where plastic was used in phones. Glass cracks and feels clumsy and insulates. Metal transfers energy from impact to the components inside. Plastic just cracks but at least absorbs some of the energy. And is easily replaceable and feels way better.

It doesn't feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine... or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.

I'd disagree. My pixel 3a feels really nice, when I got it I honestly wasn't sure for a moment whether it's plastic. It did get a few nicks and scratches, but it looks pretty alright for beeing used every day for three years without case, and me dropping it twice. Can't say the same about the screen glass

Yeah, I really liked the feel of the Pixel 3. Turns out that to make a plastic coat not feel cheap all you have to do is to not use cheap plastic

How many people actually use wireless charging?
