If I didn’t miss it, no wireless charging again… Some one told me they refuse to do it because it wastes electricity. To which I’d say, even just turning on a car probably uses magnitudes more energy than charging my phone wirelessly. I don’t want to mess up the USB C port if I don’t have to, thanks.

Yeah, the wireless charging is a no-go for me as well. I understand that it costs licensing and wastes energy. But the environmental impact of all the useless/lost cables is also a point,especially when you get your energy fully renewable/self produced. And in a lot of areas (airline lounges,etc.) it has become widely adopted/the norm.
They could easily have offered a “swap” battery that has a little less capacity but includes wireless charging - give people a fucking choice.

I agree wireless charging would be nice. But for a small company I don’t think they can do it “easily”. It’s 150 people team and how many phones do they even sell? I imagine it’s not enough yet to support all that.

It’s also less waste if one of your charging methods breaks, as you can just swap over to the other method.
Though ideally I’d also like to see more than one USB-C port for even more redundancy.
