    You're so cool. You can just throw your phone at charging plate to cook itself, while you can't use it. But it looks cool. Cool tech for cool people.

      It makes my wife considerably less pissed off when I come to bed late and am not fumbling with cables, so it’s a win for me.

        She gets pissed off if you take 2 seconds to plug a phone in? Are you alright brother?

  A phone with wireless charging is a bit niche, but if only all my little devices had wireless charging; earbuds, vape, tablet, controller, remote, etc. I’d set a charging mat in the middle of the coffee table and have all my devices just be charged and ready to go. Now it’s just a mess of wires, with the only thing I keep glued to my hand featuring wireless charging!?

    I'm hoping for ranged wireless charging. Everything is always charged when Im inside.

      Just live in a microwave. Problem solved!

        Only with the correct iOS version though.

      Not doable without some very expensive addons to your house - like IR charging from ceiling

      Everything is always charged when Im inside.

      That's living in microwave, I'd say its not going to ever happen

        I'm fine with infrastructure overhaul. We build new houses every day.

        We just need to be clever enough to do it without cooking ourselves

  Wireless charging sucks. It costs significantly more energy to charge the same battery to full.

    Your phone doesn’t have that much energy stored in it. 5 watt hours or so? Now consider the energy cost of making usb-c cords

      The charging pad itself probably requires a USB-C cable itself? It takes much more materials to make them than a cable...

      • iopq@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It doesn’t have plugging and unplugging cycles and doesn’t get bent in different directions, so it will basically never break unless you use the phone while holding the charging pad

  yup, the chinese brand have it right. Fast charging is amazing, just put the phone on charge for like 10-20 minutes and you can forget about your battery for another day. It’s great.

    I have a one plus phone.

    The super vook charging works very well. It feels like less than 10 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent.

  Magnetic portable battery packs are fantastic too.
