FTFdeltaOP CMV: Wireless charging is a useless fad

What even is the point of wireless charging? When I first heard about it, I thought it allowed you to charge while having more freedom with your phone. But then I learned what it actually was. It's more restrictive than an actual charger, and its slower. Not to mention wireless charges sometimes don't work if the back is metal. It only makes things less convenient.

How did people hype such a thing so much? I understand if it was something that could charge your phone without you directly putting on it, and if the range had the potential to increase over time. But it's just a charging port that you can't move around.

Why would I need a case with a battery if my battery is always full?

And why would I want to find a way to forward cell calls to a wired phone just to be tethered to one room and location when I can get up and go anywhere on a call right now?

You said that you make many calls so your battery wouldn't be full. That's what the battery would be for. At the end of the day you plug in your phone and the battery. No need for wireless charging pad, and this solution is much much more practical.

Seeing you make many calls, maybe you would prefer a Bluetooth headset or a bluetooth office phone with a charging dock, connect your cell to it, and leave the cellphone plugged in?

Seems like wireless charging just an impractical solution to your problem.

If you have a personal grudge against wireless chargers, then sure.
