It's my device. I should have the choice to override the standard use case to unlock the phone's full functionality at the expense of battery life. I almost always have a charging cable with me, and a 20,000 mAh powerbank. Furthermore, there is a lot of room to increase charging speeds, but most phone manufacturers have dragged their feet because extremely fast charging speeds aren't necessary for the standard use case. However, that "standard use case" is outdated and needs to be reevaluated.

>> Furthermore, there is a lot of room to increase charging speeds, but most phone manufacturers have dragged their feet because extremely fast charging speeds aren't necessary for the standard use case. And you know, the very small matter of rapid charging destroying phone batteries quickly. There are phones out there which will charge at 30 or every 40(!!!) watts of power, but it tends to kill the battery rather quickly. Vast majority of people charge their phones at night, and then the phone gets a good 6-10 hours of uninterrupted charging. If anything, phones charge too quickly by default, at the expense of battery life. >>It's my device.

You're free to do with your device as you please, but I don't see why anyone else should be obliged to cater to your wants and needs.

  They also get VERY HOT. I can't hold my phone after using it as a webcam while it's on a wireless charing pixel stand (which is somewhat less than a USB Quickcharge, but more than regular Wireless charging)
