Actually though I don't understand wireless charging. You get slower, less efficient charging in exchange for what? Like two seconds saved by not having to plug it in? You can't even use it while it's charging.

Two reasons for me, but they’re mainly because of the MagSafe:

  1. In the car, I just plop my phone onto the charger, and it holds it and charges it.
  2. At home, I also use iOS 17 Beta, so I can use the StandBy.

Of course it has its drawbacks, but this assumes that I need to use my phone all the time (no), I can’t spare even 5 minutes to not charge, or that I need to top up from 10% to 100% in 5 minutes for some reason, which I don’t. If I do, then sure, I use the cable. Through the past year, I needed to charge my phone through the cable maybe twice.
