Wireless charging is not a gimmick. It's a category below Tivo for me in "things I never knew I needed but get really annoyed when without now".
I'm on a Pixel XL now, and I greatly miss the convenience of simply having a couple charging pads laying out throughout the house/office. It feels like a chore to remember to plug in the phone every night. I won't buy another phone w/o Qi charging support.
- notzorbo3 9y agoThis probably annoys me more than anything about smartphones. New model of somesuch comes out, and it has a bunch of newer features, but a lot of features I've come to expect are suddenly gone. It was never that way with PCs. A lot of things about phones are unfortunately not like it was with PCs. I'm amazed to say it, but I've come to view IBM and Microsoft as fantastic drivers of open technology during the PC area.
- TylerE 9y agoWell, it IS that way with PC's too, it's just been a bit slower. Try finding a modern motherboard with an AGP slot or a real parrallel port.
- freehunter 9y agoTry finding one with a serial port. And that technology is still in active use in IT networking and embedded devices.
- dagw 9y agoTry finding one with a serial port I just did. Found three or four modern motherboards with serial ports with much effort.
- freehunter 9y agoSorry for some reason I read "laptop". It's much harder to find a modern laptop with a serial port, and a desktop is not very easy to carry into a datacenter.
- dagw 9y agoAGP might be tricky, but buying a pci express parallel port card is trivial.
- egeozcan 9y agoWhy do you need AGP? I'm very curious to know if it still has a use case.
