Only wired.

ZikeTech MagSafe. All of the benefits of MagSafe, none of the negative effects (overheating the phone and battery).

I’m generally MagSafe - 15W charging in the car when I drive. I have a 5w anker wireless charger/stand at my desk and it works pretty well. Between the two of them I never need wired charger.
I use wireless on my desk at home and work. 5v wired for everything else.
If you want the best longevity out of your battery, 5v wired is the best. Also, iirc, keeping the buttery between 20 and 80% also gives the best longevity for batteries.
aren’t magsafe and wireless the same?
MagSafe supports faster charging (15W vs 7.5W). Or at least that used to be the case. Not sure if that’s changed. Also, MagSafe ensures your charger is always in the right place whereas wireless, you could miss the charging pad or not have your phone positioned correctly (i.e. not set it on the charger right at night. I’ve done that.) and it not charge.

Wired 5w.
Wired. Better and faster charging
And less heat
Rubbish! my magsafe is 7.5W - what heat!?
More efficient as well. I don’t get the appeal for wireless. It’s practically a gimmick.
Tbh they should’ve let this be a pro feature and 120hz the common feature.
But no issue if you are charging overnight
I only charge at night. I can drop my phone on the charger in the dark, hear it “click” and know it’s going to be charged in the morning.
It’s more the magnetic than wireless for me. You can just drop your phone on a stand on your desk and leave.
Magsafe, 100% My pockets seem to hide all of their lint in my iPhone Lightning port, and I got tired of having to dig it out once a month.
(what are #2 & 3?) /s
I use magnetic adapter in my charging port

Wireless for work only because I use a charging stand before MagSafe was introduced. The charging stand lets the phone be in portrait mode and unlocking through Face ID by merely looking at it was super convenient. Also easy to take and go for meetings etc.
MagSafe for the car
Wired while charging next to the bed because it’s faster and won’t heat up while playing games.
What’s the difference between Magsafe and wireless?
