Who even fucking thought about making a standard function in all phones? Did they go like: Mmmmm, phones have a very strong back that is hard to break, what we are gonna do about that? … Let’s have a functionality that requires that phones have a glass back that is made of the weakest type of glass, ever created. Then they did an evil laugh?!

For starters, it’s not wireless you still have a wire to bring the electricity in and you still have to leave your phone on the charger.

Furthermore, that is literally a leash for your phone that prevent you from moving it.

The invention date of the wireless chargers should be celebrated as the dumbest invention day, annually.

    I like wireless charging simply because of the stress that charging ports undergo tends to cause them to fail. That alone was enough for me to primarily stick with wireless.

    But I also don’t use my phone a lot at home. Generally if my phone is charging, I have access to my desktop PC and prefer to use that for watching videos or browsing news.
