How do you handle situation when you want to use your phone while charging it? Then you need to hold it together with charging pad which must not move otherwise your charging speed will drop significantly, which is synonymous to have it connected to the charger, but with much finicky "connector"
- dwighttk 3y agoiPhone has magnets on the back that hold the charger in the correct position. I rarely used wireless charging before that because of how terrible it was… now I rarely plug my phone in.
- nehal3m 3y agoI 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.
- meindnoch 3y agoOk. So you can't use the phone while charging. Cool!
- elliottkember 3y agoThey’re saying the phone is always charged, because it charges when you put it down.
- CapsAdmin 3y agoIt 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.
- elliottkember 3y agoI 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.
- nehal3m 3y agoI'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?
- prmoustache 3y agoYou guys have weird use cases. My smartphone charges while I am asleep. I can't see a good reason to charge a phone during the day unless you are using gps navigation all day. That is the only usagr that drain battery a lot. But in this case that is usually because you are driving so the phone can be plugged easily.
- gorbypark 3y agoMagSafe (the wireless charging variety) was invented for this very reason. Magnets hold the charger in place, and can be small enough (not just MagSafe, but all Qi coils) that its not an issue to charge and use at the same time.
