I usually charge phones wirelessly, and since I built the charger into my desk it's easy to pick up the phone, do what I want to do, and put it back down again. There's no friction at all, so unless you want extended use there's no issue.

I rarely even think about charging it anymore.



Ok. So you can't use the phone while charging. Cool!


They’re saying the phone is always charged, because it charges when you put it down.


It kinda sounds like this is an argument between being disciplined and undisciplined.

The solution is just to remember to put your phone back on your wireless charger and it will be fully charged at all times. Maybe there's some truth to it, but not everyone can remember to put their phone down the same place at all times.


I think not everybody has tried. This feels like one of those arguments that people have against things they’re unfamiliar with.

Maybe it’s an Android /iPhone thing. MagSafe, specifically, has made a fundamental change to this. The phone lines up satisfyingly with its charger.


I'm saying that requirement is no longer relevant because of a shift in how I use the device. It still does have a wired charging port though. Why not both?
