Mine didn’t, unfortunately. It just charged very slow and got hot. Hopefully newer ones are like you say.
Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

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?

If you’re using an iPhone(12 or newer, Although not the 16e), then it’s in the phone. The bit in some cases is to add strength for accessories to snap to where it would be on the phone.
You can get MagSafe cases for some Android devices if you want to use MagSafe accessories with them.

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.
