Wireless charging is the epitome of the kind of innovation that is a solution in need a problem.
It’s slower to charge, finicky to position your phone correctly (and if you fail you wake up to a dead phone), and you can’t use it while it’s charging.
Unclear what the benefit is. Interoperability? USB-C gives us that. Saving time? But it takes longer to position your phone over the charger.
What am I missing? 🤔
