  wireless charging is not a thing until they make every table auto charging my phone

  Shit, I must be plugging my phone in at night and not realizing it then.

    If you have that little charging puck connected to a cable thing. Yes. Yes you are plugging in your phone to charge.

    Unless wherever you put your phone on at night is charging it without thought, wireless charging is not a thing.

      Except I’m literally not “plugging in” the phone. I’m placing the phone onto a vertical magnetic surface that uses induction to provide electricity to the phone without wires connecting the charger to the device. That’s wireless.

      And, for what it’s worth, because of the joy of magnetic alignment it largely is “without thought.” Though not the way you mean.

      Just because your definition of “wireless” somehow seems to mean “charge anywhere on any surface” doesn’t mean wireless charging isn’t a thing. It just means you define it differently.
