Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones
iopq@lemmy.world 1 week agoYou keep on connecting and reconnecting the USB-C cable, and if you use it while charging you probably bend it.
The cable in the charging pad never gets unplugged

You can't use a wireless charger while in bed. Unless it's magnetic, then it's also got the bending risk.
I lay in bed all the time with my phone charging, the cable bends, but I'm aware of it, it's never broken. I've had this specific one for 4 years now.
What if I want to charge in a different room? Do I buy another wireless charger? That's more cost and material again versus just a cable. Do I unplug the charger and take it with me? Cables just make way more sense. Your phone is tethered to something either way, might as well do it the more efficient and green way and plug a cable in.

If you yank a magnetic stick on charger it just disconnects. If you yank a wired cord it can break it.
I never said you must stop using wired charging. If you’re using it while charging and it works for you, you can continue to do that.
