Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?
DBT@lemmy.world 1 week agoApple’s mag safe charger is pretty popular and you can easily hold the phone in portrait mode while charging (at 25W with the latest models). The puck is thin and sticks to the center of the back of the phone.

Does it charg as efficiently as a wired power bank?

That’s not physically possible.
But it is extremely efficient for what it is. The first number I found on google said it’s 95% efficient.

That doesn’t sound correct, considering the amount of wireless chargers that will take 10W, but can only deliver half that to the phone.

Are those qi2 chargers or qi1? The magnets make a huge difference.

Not even close. Ifixit did some testing, daily MagSafe wireless charging uses 36% more energy than a wire (which includes idle power draw). It also means slower charging.
