    Exactly. I can’t count the number of times my kid has woken up with their phone at 34% raging about how the wireless charging didn’t work. On top of that you have to have the right cable and right pad and right brick or the fast charging doesn’t happen at all.

    I could see if the charging ports were still bad micro USB but USBC is pretty damn good imo and the fast charge is incredibly fast. Give me 30% battery increase in 5-7 min over wireless slow charge any day.

      There have been a few USB-C devices with failed charging ports in the family.

        Ya, that’s why I started using wireless. First because the charging port failed and was the only way to charge my phone and now with my new phone so that I don’t wear out the charging port.
