Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

Probably if you’re too lazy to grab a cord, line it up with the plug, and press gently but firmly. With wireless, you can just lob it vaguely in the right vicinity and not overstrain your fine motor skills.

I thought it you don’t line it up exactly right it charges slowly and heats up a lot, ruining the battery

  if it’s not aligned properly, it should shut off to prevent that from happening. (or, for example, if you place something else that’s metal over it.)

    Mine didn’t, unfortunately. It just charged very slow and got hot. Hopefully newer ones are like you say.

    That’s part of the reason magsafe is now everywhere. Can’t misalign it if they self correct.

The amount of times I have tripped on a charging cord and sent my phone flying…

  … but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
