      I still haven’t found a good reason to ever use wireless charging, feels like a gimmick to me Wire is just more convenient.

        In order to charge my phone wirelessly, I have to take it out of the case. Which is a bigger pain than just plugging a wire into it.

        I actually use wireless charging at night. They way I see it is in cutting down on the wear on my charging port. Plus, the slightly slower charge speeds are probably better for my battery long term

          Cutting wear of is fair point. Fast charging can be disabled if wanted with wired charging so that is not issue. Because of wireless charging, the backlid has to be glass, which is annoying cause it breaks more easily.

      We’ve hit peak QI, almost.

      Even Kindles have it now. Watches, phones, like 4 brands of earbuds I tested the other day (testing power share from the older samsungs), etc.

      The only thing that doesn’t have it in our house is my oura ring, which as a G2 is the last one I want to buy from what that company has become, so it’s going to solve itself soon.

        The only time I’d even use wireless charging is when I’m in bed. Any other time I need to be able to use my phone when it’s charging.

          It seems like a good idea to have it built into a nightstand or built into your desk so your phone charges when you put it down. In practice you have to place the phone down in a very specific spot on the charger for it to work, so it’s hardly more convenient than a cable.
