FWIW, I’m not a huge fan of current wireless charging because of how inefficient the tech is. So much energy is wasted bridging the space between the coils.
The evidence? The heat generated by the coils, which you can easily feel, especially with the higher wattage chargers.
To me, that waste matters, since it’s something so easily eliminated with very little effort.

- falcolas 3y agoThis is with MagSafe. Sure, there’s not the same misalignment issue, but there’s still a gap, made worse by cases.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, it sounds like you have a really bad charger then. My phone is always cold when I pick it up even while it’s charging (ie not finished charging). I have a non-MagSafe pad in my car that causes my phone to get really hot, in comparison.
