Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

    Mine’s magnetic. I have a charger on my nightstand. It keeps my phone in place, so it doesn’t get knocked down where it’s hard to get.

    I also have a charging cradle on my desk. Keeps it upright. Makes it easy to glance at any notifications or quickly deal with MFA. I do sometimes unplug the cradle and just use it as a non-charging prop.

    It’s also nice because, being magnetic, it also helps when I am having issues with my hands. (Stiff joints.)

      I bought a little $15 phone stand from Amazon that does this great only without the charging stuff. It does have a slot on the bottom so you can plug the phone in while it’s on it tho.
