I never buy the idea of wireless charging before this. As I have the same thoughts as you that we still plugging in cable and wall plug...wireless my foot.

But after trying it for a week plus....I am sold to wireless charging. It is all about convenience where you do not need to look for the hole to cucuk. And just drop and grab it. Especially at night on bed side. After finished scrolling (lights off), you just need to drop the phone on it and you are done. You do not need to find the cable, and try to cucuk the backside in the dark. Worst if you have those cases that have a cover on the backside. And....the chances of scratching your precious surgical grade stainless steel frame around the hole...you know...when you are trying to cucuk it in the dark, you tend to move around your tip to look for the hole right?

Now i feel like investing in wireless charger, just need to buy the base and put phone on top, then it will work right?

But i think wireless charging also depends on the casing of your phone, if case is too big or thick, maybe cannot charge?

Almost 30-40% slower compared to charging via the ori cable and charger.

If using normal wired charger, how long will it take to be fully charged from 1%?

wow then I might as well use cable lol.. already so long using cable
about 2 hours+, between 2 to 2.5 hour from 1% to 100%....

Actually the slow charging rate is just right to charge the phone overnight. But the only concern is heat which may shorten the battery life. But the idea of charging wirelessly is fun. There's some news that Apple maybe entirely ditching the charging port in the near future. So wireless may be the future way we charge our devices.

Yes... its pretty slow. Have to wait for the new update to enable faster charging.
LOL.
I only use the wireless dongle as a stand for my phone to rest nicely on in my office desk. Just for show. I dont even connect the usb cable to the phone as I dont want it to continously charge my phone while Im pickup it up and putting it down. I think that would even wear down the battery faster.

If new update enables fast charging will it charge faster than the cable or at least same speed as cable?

the app is controlling the charging speed?

How can wireless be faster than wired? Same like wired LAN will always faster than wireless lan, physic law.

I’ve never had to charge an iPhone on the go ever since I started using the Plus model iPhones - 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus and 8 Plus. My routine has been to charge the phone around 9pm or so till full charge at about 11pm or so, then disconnect, sleep, head for work the next day with the phone usually still at 100% or 99% (if I leave for work later or get insane amount of WhatsApp messages while I’m asleep). Then I get home at about 7pm or 8pm, with about 30% or so battery remaining. No charging in between, no power banks. Hopefully if I do move to the X, that won’t change!

Not app but iOS update..
Well then I don’t see what’s the hype about getting wireless charger since it doesn’t have much benefits, charge much slower than cable, can’t use phone while charging...besides looking cool and a tad bit more convenience....comes with the risk of overheating the battery in long run...
I’m exactly like you 100% , coming from 7plus, the x battery beats it flat...on 7plus (even when i use early stage while the battery is still strong and new) I start off with 99-100% and by night 7-8pm i’d have about 30-40%, on the X, same usage and etc but I’m home at night with 60-70% (hope I won’t jinx it)

Whoa. The X's battery beats the plus? Tot the smaller size / capacity of the X would not last as long than the plus. Very interesting indeed.
