99% of my phone charging happens on a Qi pad, this saves me from needing to carry a special cable around just in case I need to charge my phone with it once a year.
- 650REDHAIR 3y ago99.9% of my charging is via lightning connector. I don’t even own a Qi pad.
- wlesieutre 3y agoThey're great, you should try it. My phone was having trouble with CarPlay recently because the port had gotten clogged with lint, I was able to fix it by very carefully cleaning out the port but I'm switching to wireless CarPlay and MagSafe charging to not have to worry about it. That's the one place I still had to use a lightning cable regularly, and a $40 wireless adapter takes care of it.
- Overtonwindow 3y agoWireless charging is the way to go. When the charging port on my iPhone 12 started to go I switched to wireless. The constant plugging and unplugging, etc. put too much strain on that jack.
- vachina 3y agoWireless charging warms the phone so much more than cable charging it hastens battery ageing.
- wlesieutre 3y agoI use my phone so little that this is not really a concern, but if you're the kind of person who regularly drains your phone battery then I guess it could matter. My battery health is reported at 81%, though I've seen some speculation that iOS 17 betas changed how this is calculated because people see lower numbers than they did before. Regardless, looking at previous 10 days history my peak battery use was about 60% last Sunday. Edit to add: phone is ~3 years old
- bryanlarsen 3y agoFast charging also hastens battery ageing. So plugging it in might not be better.
