      Not unless they’ve managed to fix the wireless charging problem. Namely that it barely functions.

      Almost all of the energy goes into heat, it’s ridiculously inefficient.

        I’ve been charging my phones exclusively wirelessly (not counting plugging in cars or emergencies) for about 15 years. From Lumia, to OnePlus to Pixel now. Zero issues.

        Even iphones finally invented wireless charging a few years ago and it works very well.

        I realize it’s not as efficient, but I charge overnight and we’re probably talking about $10/year in losses.
