While I almost never use wireless charging (I keep hearing that it degrades the battery faster, not sure if there’s any truth to that), I do love the magnets of Apple’s MagSafe idea. It’s really nice to just be able to stick my phone to the fridge or easily click it to my car’s dashboard.
Pretty much any rechargeable device I buy nowadays must have USB-C ( Electric Screwdriver, Torches, Soldering Irons, Mouse / Keyboard, Electric Bicycle Pump, etc… ) with daily use devices also requiring Wireless Charging ( iPhone, AirPods PRO 2, etc… ) as I cannot be bothered scrounging around for the proper Cable.
For what it’s worth, I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, which I bought on release day. Apart from occasionally plugging it in (eg for car trips using Apple car play) I exclusively use wireless charging.
Battery health is currently sat at 88%
It can get kinda warm, but I think Apples charging logic is pretty good. I wireless charge everywhere except work and my car (my car has a wireless charger, but it does not like my 13 Pro), and my battery health is still at 87%. I bought the phone on Black Friday the year it released.
The problem with wireless charging is the gross inefficiencies caused by coil misalignment. The magnets in MagSafe and Qi2 solve that problem. It’s still a little less efficient than a cable and therefore will cause the phone to run a little warmer, but its not significant.

Good to see it coming it Android devices too.
