I’ve been using wireless chargers for years. I find it “more secure” in the sense that my phone’s port is full of gunk and if I want to wake up with full batteries I can count on wireless a lot more.
I like wireless and magnetic mainly because fucking up the cable is like the most common thing I might do to a device. not saying I do it all the time but its the most likley break to happen.
