I guess I'm one of the few people who prefers wireless charging. I haven't used a cable in my phone for years
Personally, wireless isn’t fast enough about half the time and current high-power charging can charge even iPhones up extremely fast to the point I’d rather plug in for 20 minutes then sit my phone on the Qi charger for an hour. However, that would change if wireless charging technology caught up.
Jesus an hour? That just sounds like they're using shitty wireless charging tech. Four year old OnePlus phones out here getting 50% wireless charge in 10 minutes.
You may want to consider replacing your phone battery if it isn’t lasting all day. I just set my phone on a Qi charger at night and I never have to plug my phone in during the day. Maybe I just don’t use my phone that much though, idk
I get around that by having multiple wireless chargers where I'm usually not using my phone. One next to my bed, one at my desk, another in the kitchen. I just plop the phone down and it tops itself up.
Not having to dig around for a cable in the dark when I go to bed is pretty nice.
This is why my house is a tangled mess of cables. The only time I’m not actively on my phone is when I’m asleep. I’ve got a 10’ cable beside my bed for the time just prior to sleeping and just after waking up. 😬
Even when I’m working, I’m constantly picking up and checking news, or games, or messages, or whatever. I don’t have enough “inactive” time throughout the day to get anything from wireless charging.
Oh, hello, me! Nice to see me here!
I invested in some magnetic cables so I just put the little magnet end in the charge port (have lightning, c, and micro), and never take it out. Then I can use the same cables for everything. (My phone case blocks wireless charging, and the other things I frequently need to charge don’t have wireless at all, so this is a good system for me)
