Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

    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?

          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.

            My phone case is designed to attach a camera lens, and actually came with magsafe, but I didn’t have any magsafe attachments and ended up removing the magnets from the case because they interfered with the compass, despite promising not to.
