    I don’t think many people use wireless charging compared to just wired. Most people don’t want to spend the extra money on it. Plus it’s slower. Hell I’ve had one phone I tried to force myself to use wireless charging with…and in the end gave up after a few months. Just wasn’t worth it.

        Yea I think there are people who do like it, I’m just saying I think the general phone population doesn’t care for it. Do remember the amount of annoyed people, when companies stopped putting in charging bricks.

          I was excited to use a magnetic car mount with wireless charging, then discovered that every bump in the road jiggles the contacts and produces error messages on my phone

            O damn really? That seems like a terrible design. I saw that the magsafe stuff for my s24 ultra messes up the stylus and was like fuck that. So never touched it.
