TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

      I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.

        It’s also wasteful if that is something you care about.

        I guess I don’t need to use my phone when it’s charging as much as most people, or maybe just don’t use my phone as much period

          My iPhone 12 battery is kind of trash now, so using the phone plugged-in is common now.

          When my battery was fresh, I would make it to the evening, plop it down, and be done. Now I need to charge once or twice in the middle of the day, and I usually notice that I need to charge while I’m using the device.

            My 11 still has 73% capacity, but since it’s almost always charging I never notice that it needs it. I just keep it on the charger when I’m not using it. (Which, apparently, is a lot more often than most people.)

      Personally, wireless isn’t fast enough about half the time and current high-power charging can charge even iPhones up extremely fast to the point I’d rather plug in for 20 minutes then sit my phone on the Qi charger for an hour. However, that would change if wireless charging technology caught up.

        You may want to consider replacing your phone battery if it isn’t lasting all day. I just set my phone on a Qi charger at night and I never have to plug my phone in during the day. Maybe I just don’t use my phone that much though, idk

        Jesus an hour? That just sounds like they’re using shitty wireless charging tech. Four year old OnePlus phones out here getting 50% wireless charge in 10 minutes.

      I don’t like that in order to use my phone while it’s charging on a wireless charger, I need to pick up the whole wireless charger, wire and all, and then it kind of defeats the purpose.

      I think it doesn’t work well for people who need to have their phones in their hands at all times (me).
