- Wireless charging is all the rage these days. Unfortunately, it's not quite up to par. It turns out that most chargers are actually wasting tons of electricity - and they're not exactly easy to use, either. Join for me for a look at yet another wireless technology that leaves a lot to be desired...

The charging port on my phone wore out.
Same
The only solution is resolder old usb with new one on phone pcb
And change to wireless to don't wear out new usb port
Love the very level headed analysis… More please.
The main issue with strictly wired charging is the issue of wear and tear. They make these connectors and ports as tiny and delicate as they can, knowing full well the phone is effectively trash once it fails to charge, and then to top it off they seal the battery that's GUARANTEED to die no matter how gingerly you treat the phone inside so you can't even replace or charge the battery through other means. It's so disgusting and disheartening. So much for the free market driving innovation.
The phone makers and vendors hold all the power and they dictate to their captive customers what _they_ think is best and then all collude together to cut off any viable alternative that people might have actually wanted. Then we all just try to choose the least shit option (except for Apple users who prefer shit) and act like it's ok for these companies to be coercing us into replacing our $700 phones every time their $10 battery dies or their needlessly thin screen glass breaks.
If they cared at all about making things green they'd design phones to be robust and user serviceable, with standardized parts so that we could decide for ourselves when it's time for a new device. It's really not up to the consumer at all what kind of environmental and socioeconomic impact the devices we use will have. Hell, we have to fight for the right to even repair our own shit. How fucked up is that? We're getting sold broken shit by a broken system. We need to stop buying into it.
Dammit now I'm all upset. Thanks a lot Scottie.
wireless chargeing saved me when my charger port failed and its also great that i can charge my smart watch with my phone if im in a pinch
Nice to see you Scottie. Excellent information as always. Sharing.
💗🙏🏼 Jeanne
You're awesome thank you very much for all your incite
Thank you Scottie
I thinking about one as I don't want to add wear and tear on my USB port as my phones getting a little older and I use it while it's plugged in which is part of the problem putting extra stress on the component
Very informative, thank you. 👍
Hi Scottie!! Loving your hoodie!
I"m so glad i Watched this video and it reall has given me alot of info on wireless charging. I did but one couple of years ago and tried to use it with my T-Mobile phone and didn't work. Upon watching this video, i found out that not all Devices are compatible with wireless charging.
So, i decided to stick with wired charging and also have a portable wired charger.
I started using a wireless charger because my phone would no longer charge when I plugged it into the usb-c, and I tried more than 1 cable.
Had same problem on old S6 battery finally died. Meanwhile got 2 more years. This guy can stay wired.
You should check the power adapter you are using and make sure it's rated for fast charge, preferably from the manufacturer you got the phone. Alot of third party chargers will only charge at 5v 2a at USB 1 standard usually this is not enough to keep up especially if you are using the phone with the screen on.
Actually, I want to know since wireless charging is inefficient, will the amount of heat generated that heat up my phone harmful to the battery in the long run? Or is it similar to the heat generated while I charge it wiredly?
I would also like to know the answer to this
I stopped using my wireless charger because my phone (LG V30+) kept warning me of getting too hot while being charged. The phone suggested that I should not be running any apps while charging, but nothing of any consequence was running. It was the wireless charger as the phone was quite warm to the touch after charging (my guess about 40 deg C) . This heat did not happen with a wired charger. I packed away the wireless charger and now only use wired, not wanting to push my luck on reduced battery life.
@@Okanekaseku iPhone X - Gets super hot even after only 10 minutes
@@geoffreyveale7715 My V30+ never had the heating issue.
Heat does degrade batteries so yes. However question is how long you will use the device. In most cases battery health will be good enough the whole lifespan of the device even if you use fast/wireless chargers. And even if not you can replace battery
Good info, thanks👍
I spent about a week looking into a charger that I thought would work with both my phone AND its case (it also fast charges). I've used wired forever and hated old wireless chargers. I finally found one that had more good reviews than bad (don't think I saw any bad reviews on the first page of reviews--it did have some, just not the first page which was rare to find).
I ordered it and it works with my phone in its case and has a spot for my earbuds to charge as well. Aligns due to it being a stand for the phone and a clear circle for the buds (a second phone can also be charged there).
The main reason I finally wanted wireless was because I'm a business owner (LMT) and need to constantly grab my phone to see if the notification is a client or possibly a new client. I also used to be a dog-worker and still do a lot of dog sitting for my old clients from my old business, so dogs have, many times, managed to snag my cords because I need them longer to avoid constantly having to unplug or plug in my phone.
Today, I'm spending the day monitoring the heat it creates on the two devices to ensure there's no dangerous overheating.
You definitely make a lot of good points and, having spend a number of days reading charger reviews, most of them are on point. Many cheap chargers are both useless and dangerous due to overheating. Really be aware of what you're buying if you do get a wireless charger.
Excellent review Scotti ✅
No
Love ur channel n ur no-nonsense approach!
I've definitely learned many useful n extremely interesting things here, soo THANKS for that! Keep up the good work 😁👍👍
I agree!!
Pretty Simple and to the point.
The problem I have with wireless charger is my devices always get too hot...so I rather just plug charger directly
Thanks scottie from the Netherlands
Netherlands too! Limburg!
@@Hermetic_ hé medelander gr uit Brabant
What a bundle of knowledge that channel
Awkward...
Finally, I got the answer. I had been always looking at the back or the bottom of the wireless charging pads (or stands) to read the input and output, and found out that the input power ,was, in most cases, twice as the output power (or 70-80% more).
According to my AC power meter, a "Xtorm Wireless" 10 W Qi pad connected to a "snug" USB charger consumes 0.00 W (below the meter's minimum) when idling and 11.05 W with a Galaxy S20 FE placed on it.
Thank for the information on how it works but for the loss of energy and pollution it is ridiculously small!
Thank You . . .
I am looking for a wireless charger, because now I have three different cables laying around (iPhone=lightning, Buds= USB C, Watch= “wireless”).
One wireless charger could combine all of them.
@@ibol13l3 Yea you are right but this charger www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/6479409_-wireless-charger-duo-pad-weiss-samsung.html for example doesn’t cost to much and could solve my “problem”
I have to say this: "One Charger to RULE them all"
I'm with Scottie on the spying paranoia... the "Powers trying to be" are just grooming you to be dependent on the cloud.
Hi David. I know I’m late to the party. Just saw your question, Amazon has a 3-1, phone, watch, and buds for $38.99. I bought my wife one and she loves it. Been using it for over a year now. Keeps it all together. Just thought I’d lyk. Have a good day.
The part with the alignment it`s not true, at least with my phone...I have samsung s9 with a samsung wireless charger and it charges any way i put it, i don`t have to align anything. The same goes for a huawei p30 pro.
Always love your Output 🤴🥳😎 U got some merch to sell? I would buy a Hated Box mark II 😌
I'm way too busy to be messing about poking pointy things in holes.

@D D I'm way too busy too watching you tube videos
Sad for you!! 😅🤣😂
The main problem with cables is excessive wear and fraying. Replacing them frequently because they are cheap and unreliable in that sense. Wireless is cool but it would be awesome to have some kind of charge on the fly in a certain space where you can use your phone while it’s charging wirelessly. Soon I hope.
Just get a wireless battery case, or if iPhone 12 get magnetic power bank thing
I tape over the connector contact of that coil in my case back. I noticed battery life improved even tho it still sucks.
one of the big reasons I read about the wireless on why, is because of sealing the phone complete to be submerge into water or to be water resistant anything that has holes will limit this from happening, also wireless charging is getting better and better. its actually good enough to remove all wires from here on out. Even though im not a fan of the wireless, its convenient to have that option if your shooting footage out in bad weather or if you happen to fall into a lake or somewhere dangerous to be able to make a emergency call without a dead phone can save a life.
How are your charge ports not wearing out? This happens to all my phones eventually. It's not a matter of convenience when my phone refuses to seat any input cable.
Great work, TY!, what's your take on those little Solar chargers? Peace
Best to get a BIG solar charger: ruclips.net/video/BuEQ8I4MvAU/видео.html :)
@@ScottiesTech any recommendations?
My phone plug wore out so I am trying a wireless charger on the new phone.
I am very worried about fire risk... I have an iPhone X and it gets super hot even after only 10 minutes on the wireless charger
I really don't like wireless charging or ultra fast charging. I've noticed that it makes my battery drain quicker, it builds up too much heat which isn't good for the battery, and it takes just as long to wirelessly "fast" charge my phone as using an old iPhone charging block. I'd rather it take it's time and prevent the battery from degrading too quickly.
Wireless chargers come with a wire that you plug into the socket 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m glad someone in the comments had enough IQ to recognize this, people want to use their phones while plugged in,Apple plans to remove the charger cable. And make their phones hardware even LESS user friendly. And they have another Retarded solution to fix this, they want to make DAMN charger brick, hook to the back of the phone.. JUST MAKE CHARGERS THAT DONT BREAK 🤦🏻♂️🖕🏼🍏
The whole AirPods scandal was bad enough.. this is terrible.
@ravvraj so now, they can carry around their wireless chargers and put one in their car; don't hit them breaks too hard or you might lose your phone. 👌
Best comment yet... Mr. Wired lmao
And wireless network comes from a wired network. What’s your point?
Thanks. You saved me from buying ba cheap Monoprice one on sale for $12.
Only use one because the plug port broke. They always break eventually. Glad it's there. I don't want to buy a new phone. I'm cheap 🤣
oh how hard it is to align two similar sized rectangles to each other.
On my old phone with a wonky micro-USB socket it was a great solution.
Of course boosting power usage to a certain point would need another powerplant to jump in - which is an economical loss.
But guess what, power plants don't scale to the Watt, they overproduce at any given time, and there is huge waste of energy. How to solve that economical? Use green energy.
Wireless charging shouldn't be the all around solution. Fast charging via cable is a very good thing. But certain appliances would be great for wireless charging:
It needs to be absolute waterproof? Don't have any sockets and openings! Usewireless charging.
You ruin your battery pack with fast charging over night?
Have a slow inductive charger, use it while you're asleep and pick up your phone in the morning without any accidental cord rupture.
Inductive charging will never be as efficient as a high-grade cable, but that isn't its selling point in the first place.
"A disaster in waiting" would be explosions, heart attacks, fast aging of cells and techs. Not a cupple wasted Watts. Old or very cheap USB-Wall-charger do that, too.
Whats your thoughts on the mother box?
Good morning Cletus and Scottie! Drag myself out of bed for coffee and new video blarg😉🖖🏻
Didn't mention anything about the repeated plug in / unplug over a number of years wares out the charging socket on the phone! Not to mention handling the USB cable everytime will eventually ware that out too! (I think everyone at some point has had to replace there usb cable)
In the past I've had 2 perfectly good smart phones that could still hold there own technology wise go scrap because the charge socket broke/wore out!
Since switching to wireless 4 years ago I've not had a single charging problem!
So I'm happy to loose, let's be honest a few pence a year, to ensure my phone doesn't develop any avoidable repetitive use damage!
I've been using wireless charging for a few years now. I'm honestly not concerned with wasting a few extra pennies on electricity my concern however is the effect on battery life. In the past I had phones with easy to remove batteries, but now of course it's not.
what's good a technology if it's inefficient.
Yeah...just received one as a gift, and it needs to be plugged in to charge, that with its inherent inefficiency has me scratching my head
If I can charge it and take it on a multiple day hike and use it that way, that may be a good use? I use a direct plug in strip with USB to charge multiple components.
Now I know more about charging my 📱 < phone no more use of my wireless charger
Valid points.
However, the charging pad could be connected direct to DC viz. the charge adapter converts AC to 5V DC. The designers should be offering off-grid charge options.
Wireless charging is also useful with the water resistant phones because you can`t charge a phone with a wired charger if you just came out of the water with it, which happens to me all the time, i go swimming with my phone in my pocket, and i don`t want to wait until the usb dries out
Exact reason electric toothbrushes use inductive wireless charging for more than the past 35 years (before mobile phones were common household items). The electrically active components of these toothbrushes are sealed from water ingress and do not provide for charging connector ports.
The issue here is that wire way of charging poses two issues for cell manufacturer. 1. the most common problem is failure of charging port, biggest problem; by introducing wireless charging this goes away. 2. by eliminating charging port they can substantially increase battery space and make the phone much easier waterproof + many other things. Both big benefits for manufacturers.
I love my samsung fast wireless charger for my samsung phone. I just lay it down when I go to bed it's not finicky to align at all.
Nice, just pay more for the same energy on your phone, very inteligent.
Keep loving it...
@@acaciobernardo1502 its maybe an extra like 5 dollars per year, chill lmao
So what was the technology enabler that made wireless charging so common? The concept seems so simple, it could have been done many years ago
Scottie thanks for such a videos , I become a little more educated , )
The reason to use a wireless charging pad is to not to have to keep replacing the cords that keep breaking. Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm. I've never had a charging cable break, so that's never been a problem for me.
@@ScottiesTech before I got this LG-6, which was 3 years old like new on eBay, I had a Nokia 6.1 also with USB-C but no wireless charging capability. I broke the port on the phone and it didn't seem worth sending it for repair. I live in a small town and I get phones with a contract. I either buy used or otherwise under $200 usually. If I have problems there is nowhere to take it for repair unless I'm have a contract.
Needing about 6 replacement USB cables and at least one charge port replacement during the lifetime of the device will be far more energy consuming than the loss of power due to wireless charging. Also, I'm guessing only about one in two techs manage to replace a charge port without messing up something else in the device.
yeah, honestly I'm here right now because the charging port is always breaking so I want to get one with wireless charging so that I don't have my phone become unusable every few years
The port in my old Note 4 had went bad and when I took the phone apart to replace it I cracked the display panel behind the glass and then had to replace the entire screen too.
Perfect statement - I have had a couple charger ports go out on me and one go out on a family member. Also, I have used wireless in my vehicle and bedside and have had great luck with them.
@@WKHammons Mine is out right now, i can only charge wirelessly
I've been using the same phone and charging cables for several years. Seems to me the problem is reckless user misuse of their devices, and not any fault of the technology itself
Hello, they say that from a health standpoint it's safe, do you agree? I was thinking of buying a new phone that has that technology for its other specs so I was wondering: if I plan to charge it only with the cable, will it be safe to use or for instance some components of the wireless charge technology are always partially active/potentially harmful? In other words: should I choose a phone without wireless charging even if I plan to only charge it via cable? Thank you
Well, 'they' say all sorts of things are safe when they're not necessarily... But in any case, it should be fine to use such a phone and charge it via the cable. The phone's wireless charging mechanism should emit basically nothing. Even if it does, it will be very, very tiny compared to the microwave or millimeter wave RF being emitted so it can do all its phone-y stuff.
@@ScottiesTech thank you very much
Yea like the jab
Isn't this how electronics gets blown up? I know the amount of voltage induced is dependent on the number of turns of the coil. So what happens if you accidentally put your wireless charging phone over a live power cable (say 110 or 230V). If the coil was 10 turns, would it induce 1100 or 2300V with the power cable being 1 turn ?
Transformers can step up/down the voltage/current, but a simple coil won't. The other trick is that the coils in the charger and phone are tuned to each other - sort of like an FM radio tuner. Throw in a few components to protect the coil from stray EMFs that do couple (weakly) to the coil, and it works.
What if I built a self-cleaning one, complete with the world's quietest cooling system?
what happens when blood alkalinity is increased and you are close to a cellphone mast?
The main reason i end up replacing a phone or other USB devices (like lighters) is the eventual damage of the charging port, i try to be careful, but sometimes a cord is pulled or a phone is hastly picked up while still plugged and little by little the charging port is damaged... liked a lot the old Xperia Z magnetic charging ports and i started using magnetic tipped usb cables... but they are more expensive than normal cables and very succeptible to catching up metal dust if you are not extra careful, i once dropped my cable on the street and found it filled with small particles of rust.... So wireless charging does not sounds like a bad option to me , perhaps not as the main power source but as an option when your cable gets damaged ant to avoid some wearing of the usb port
I am sure someone already said it, I break my charging port on my phones so I only charge wired when necessary
How? I mean, I still use an iphone 7 and ive never broken the port.
I got a wireless charger for my Mom who has a hard time plugging in her wired phone charger... however, it heats up terribly so I've asked her to charge the phone for short amounts of time and never in the night!
I don't get the problem. Should I fiddle around with cables to save less than $1 a year on electricity?
you are like the vegan of the electrical world lololol
Actually, the more power use and larger coils make it much more efficient than Qi. Yes, it's less efficient, but it's still AC going to the cars power supply.
I’m subscribed. I’m part cyborg, I have a defibrillator implant and suppose to maintain a distance from frequency emitting devices e.g. can’t be leaning over a running auto or welding. Are we going to be endangered, now. Sounds like a class action suit or what?
unless you solve the anxiety of failed charger ports and time expired wire cord people are going to lean to convenience rather than maintenance.
cool shirt!
dont care if its efficient or not as long as it charges my phone, i keep insurance on my phone so not really concerned about any damage, so why do i not want a wireless charger again?
I came here to wireless charging adapters for non-Qi capable phones. This guy totally convinced me never to use wireless charging technology at the moment. Damn you. Haha. Thanks for the info. I agree, between wasting energy and being cool/convenient. Totally wired is the way to go.
Totally Agree. Don't Wireless Charge your device. this can Damage your Phone's Battery and thus having to get another Phone. Wired charging would be a Better option for me. But, if people want to wirelessly charge their Device, that's fine. i'd rather have a Wired charger which is not only cool, but very good at preserving energy, also to add one final Thought, Phones do not like heat.
Batteries degrade regardless. It’s negligible. They’ve done studies. Maybe a 1% difference of degradation after two years. Your gunna have to replace the battery anyway.
😂😂😂
The problem is micro-usb ports fail -- my current phone doesn't charge anymore unless I fiddle with the cable. So they need a better connector!
The USB-C might be better...or even worse with more pins to connect with. The old laptop power plug was more reliable, and even that we had to replace on a couple laptops. So a better solution is needed, although the phone companies just want you to get a new phone every year anyway, so they don't care if the ports fail after 2 years.
Which is worse? Wasted power when charging, or having to build a whole new phone to replace one with a dead port? They're mostly irreparable to most people. Then there's the energy cost to recycle your old phone? Oof, and the components need built, transported, built into that replacement, trucked to a port, sent over seas to western markets, trucked to a warehouse, distributed to retail locations or to the purchaser... It's gotta be close.
My Wireless charger will quick charge my Galaxy Note 9 from %0 to %100 in about the same time as when charging via the charging cable (Less than 3 hours). It's a cheap one I got on Amazon for $12 but it does have the problem of the charging cutting off and back on if I don't find the Sweet Spot on the charging pad, so it seem to be like you said, you have to line up the coils just right to get it to work reliably but it could also be that it's a cheap poor quality charger.
Al though the Wireless charger I got at Big Lots that is not a Fast Wireless charger but just a regular wireless charger did not have the problem of cutting off and back on the charging.
I stand Corrected, it takes longer (Wired will take 1 and 49 minutes from %0 to %100) but still less than 3 hours isn't bad for wireless.
I like the concept of wireless charging as an additional way to charge your device. If your type C port breaks you can always always have another method to charge your Device. This is just the beginning think of a wireless node that plugs into your wall Sort of like mesh Wi-Fi but charging from a distance And charges From Anywhere in your house that's the future
I finished the video in hope of seeing the cat. Thanks for the common sense info.
I use wireless chargers for my phone and magnetic cables for my gadgets
It's really good. Sure, it wastes a bit of energy, so instead of charging my phone for 2 bucks a year it costs 3. Sure, it is much slower so if I need to top up my phone for half an hour I will plug it in. And, of course, I need to align my phone perfectly and in the summer it may overheat and stop charging.
But it's very convenient. My phone is at my desk at full charge. If I need to go to the bathroom or for a coffee or for a call I just pick it up. When I'm done I just place it on the charger again and it tops up.
I never have to worry about whether it's worth it plugging the phone in or for the durability of the connector. I place it on the pad and it charges.
If I cared about the extra electricity I wouldn't have bought the charger anyway (since it cost 20$/it's a waste product). I also would have other priorities, like reducing my electric heater bill, since it consumes 200-300x the electricity.
In fact, I liked it that much that I bought a wireless charger power bank. Where wireless charging cuts its capacity in half. Because it allows me to have a wireless charger on my workbench without having access to a plug
You do know that lithium batteries wear out 4x faster when you keep the fully charged..
@@murraymadness4674 phone still works after 3 years. Good luck babysitting your battery
I'm surprised Scottie made no mention of the health effects of wireless.
YT would shut him down if he told the truth about how deadly it is.
Go live in a cave. Been in IT for over 25 years and worked on cell towers, in huge data centers, around wireless shit all day for 8-12 hours. Anecdotally speaking, no issues. The same go for the majority of healthy people.
Thanks for the video. The wife and I are picking up 60+ routers in our flat in Valencia plus all the other electro-smog, but thankfully we are moving out to a small town north of here into a house on the outskirts of the town, ahhhh peace and quiet.
A question for you; which Lab/bench power supply do you recommend for laptop motherboard repair? I'm looking at 5volts but only between 2-5 Amps to put through the board to find short circuits. Keep up the good work.
I just bought a cheapo power supply from AliExpress. It's been totally reliable so far, so I guess it was a good buy!
I got 2 wireless chargers because otherwise I always forget to charge the phone.
I thought the point of wireless charging was reducing possible damage to the charging port and convenience
I have a note 8 with a wireless Samsung charger it's been working great for a couple of years I just walk in the door throw the phone on the charger no alignment problems
This guy is a beast, that basement's temperature is -15°c.. Balls of steel. True story! 😂
Then why is he sweating?
The real reason wireless is here to stay is aesthetics. Designers and people in general just prefer not to see wires.
Wireless charging could probably be a good future solution for large scale application where time is a factor. Imagine a future where trucks are electric but instead of needing huge, efficient batteries capable of taking them cross country, you have wireless charging built into highways. I'm obviously talking about some significant technological advances and it will require a stable electrical grid, so not one dependent on "renewable" energy.
The charging port on my phone sucks though. :/
Noticed the wireless charging toothbrush in background and was waiting for you to mention it lol
Ah yes. I did mention it... in the segment of the video that I cut out! Oops! In any case, that's a fabulous example of wireless charging... It's waterproof. Only problem is, it takes like 20 hours to fully charge the darn thing.
@@ScottiesTech yeah know what you mean, the battery in them is also useless in my experience as after 20 hours charging you get to brush 3 times before it runs out again. At least it's wireless for a real reason and not just a gimmick though.
@@BlueJDev Some of the more expensive "Pro" models have an actual lithium-ion battery. Lasts FOREVER. Tricky to tell which ones have it, and which don't though.
If you told me that was Justin Timberlake’s older brother who went to MIT, I might believe you.
Sounds easier to just use a cable.
Main reason that connector part thar goes in phone pins bend very quickly even if careful if I didn't have too replace every 6 mos !!!!!
Why wireless? Because my micro-usb connector sucks.
Phones are getting more efficient and not needing as big batteries, wireless charging will seem more convenient or reliable, but it's not that bad, just replace the port if it breaks.
You pointed most of the problem of wireless charging is not worth using. I would consider is they fix all the problems and huge power inefficient than cable.
The reason that I would like to use a wireless charger is because after a few years the wired connection in the phone wears out and gets loose. Once it gets too loose the connection isn't made It won't charge causing me to buy another phone. Also the wired chargers die on me after a couple of years and I need another charger.
Damn... just bought one
(5:47) - No !
Mercedes never said that their wireless charging system was 10% more efficient than the normal wired method.
They said their AirCharge system was _* 10% LESS*_ efficient.
What Mercedes actually claimed was: *_"...an efficiency rate of more than 90 percent for transfer of electricity from power source to car..."_*

Right. Since 90% efficiency is higher than what you normally get with plug-in electric cars (82% they claimed), that's more efficient than other (wired) solutions. Of course, the topic of the efficiency of Tesla's Superchargers for example could be a video all it's own... I've seen numbers ranging from 33% (unlikely) all the way up to 98% (also unlikely). LOL!
Sorry, I dont buy it… For one thing, it’s not too much work to plug in your cell phone, Qi charging is a convenience. If it costs less than $1.00 per year to charge your cell phone and if the Qi charger is taking 50% more, even on a grand scale, I can live with it. Lining up a phone on a Qi charger is no super human feat. You set it on and it charges. I’ve been using a Samsung fast charge wireless charging stand for years and have never had any alignment problems.
Hi, how can I contact you?
Contact form on: scottiestech.info
I would highly recommend you do your own research. There are always going to be naysayers for everything. I got a wireless charger for my Note 8 and it was only around 10% less efficient than the standard wall charge at the same exact charging rate on my phone. I have a phone stand type wireless charger and you sit it on and it always charges at 100%. My USB-C connector quit working about a year in, so I'm pretty thankful I have this. The convenience is worth a couple cents of electricity a day. As to everyone's total extra energy usage, this is laughable compared to just legally requiring double-pane windows in all new construction.
What about Magsafe?
If you have to align it perfectly and at close distances, there's just no point to charge it wirelessly. They should just make some sort of docking station.
There is the point to use them. My phone c type port just getting loose and can't connect with c type charger properly.
@@reincarnate3440 I would assume that your phone has a lot of scratches and dents around that area. That's why I like wireless charging.
