    I on the other hand cannot see why people don’t see it as the best invention after sliced bread. I’ve been using wireless charging since '12 and take it for granted now. No wires, no lost chargers, no plugging in, just the pad on my night stand. Full battery everyday without broken usb ports or cables.

    I feel like most critique is about not being able to charge fast which is valid. Wireless charging is only convenient at night. If you have an aging phone and your battery can’t get thought the day anymore then wireless charging is not going to help you. I feel like this is actually not a wireless charging problem but more like a battery capacity problem.

      Charging overnight actively makes the battery health worse though (overcharging). Wireless charging is also wasteful for electricity because it uses way more power than what is actually going into your phone. Not a big deal for one person but if everyone’s using wireless charging it adds up.
