"The argument is simple, especially now that the whole world has converged on USB-C for charging - just use a cable. It's faster and more efficient than any form of wireless charging. There is a caveat - many of the people who reported that they use wired charging only also said that they don't need top-ups during the day. These days, phone batteries have gotten quite huge, so finding a phone that can last a full day of even heavy use isn't that hard."
"And that's another thing - the universal wired charging standard (USB-PD) is a lot faster than the universal wireless charging standard (Qi2 tops out at 25W). Those bigger batteries need the faster charging. Yes, proprietary wireless charging solutions do go over 25W, but they can be a headache if you decide to switch brands. About a third of voters do want magnets, but they are split into several camps."
Most users consider magnetic wireless charging optional and prefer wired USB-C charging for its greater speed and efficiency. Many wired-only users report they do not need mid-day top-ups because modern phone batteries can last a full day, even under heavy use. USB-PD wired charging is considerably faster than Qi2 wireless charging, which tops out at 25W; proprietary wireless options can exceed 25W but risk brand lock. About a third of users want magnetic features, split between those needing built-in magnets for caseless use and those satisfied with case-based magnets. A minority seek magnets only for mounts and accessories, and adoption outside Apple remains limited.
