Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

if it’s not aligned properly, it should shut off to prevent that from happening. (or, for example, if you place something else that’s metal over it.)

If it’s completely misaligned yes. But there’s a wide spectrum between too far off to even turn on, and perfectly aligned.
This is what magsafe/qi 2 fixes by including magnets which should have been there from the start.

Mine didn’t, unfortunately. It just charged very slow and got hot. Hopefully newer ones are like you say.

That’s part of the reason magsafe is now everywhere. Can’t misalign it if they self correct.

Thank you I didn’t realize the wireless chargers used magsafe.
Is magsafe built into the phone, or just in cases?
