qi2 case with pogo pin circle in center of magnetic array and ribbon wire that sends power from pogo pin directly up into USBC port of the phone - also have indentation like speck click lock to secure qi2 batteries even better
how about a case with a pogo pin / pins / small ring, in the center of its qi2 magnet array, with a power wire that goes directly from the pogo pin down to the bottom of the case, and then up into a case-built-in USBC port into the phone? this way, a potential "point of failure" would be on the relatively easy to replace case itself, instead of the expensive phone.
failure of the moto mods was that magsafe qi2 didn't exist back then. now qi2 is a standard. third parties are even taking qi2 a step further by enhancing its functionality and features. look at speck click lock - it locks things into place with a simple indentation. by integrating pogo pins and an indent, it could help to more easily legitimize a better hybrid pogo pin/ qi2 phone case where a magsafe battery that "goes with" it and has something like speck click lock to really secure it in place

I believe the failure of the moto Z line was that magsafe qi2 didn't exist back then in the late 2010s, compared to now when magsafe / qi2 is more of a standard. by integrating something nonstandard (pogo pin(s)) into an established standard (magsafe / qi2), it could help to more easily "legitimize" the idea of a hybrid pogo pin / qi2 kit where a magsafe battery that "goes with" this new “potential standard” (having pogo pins or some sort of direct contacts energy flow setup built into both a case and a corresponding set of accessories like a battery pack. There was a time when we could carry spare batteries with us in the early to mid 2010s, and so, we could be away from a wall all day, and then in the afternoon, and again in the evening, we could simply hotswap a full battery to replace the empty battery. Magsafe is kind of “supposed” to be the successor to doing this but i think a better solution would be something *with* a pogo pin just like how the batteries we hotswapped had direct contact energy pins.

draft - pixel - 60 watt usb + 40 watt magnetic pogo pin - can we get 60 watt usbc charging and 40 watt magnetic pogo pin charging? a single pogo pin smack dab in the center of the qi2 circle could enable 40 watt magnetic battery backs that are backward compatible with qi2 25 watt, but a dedicated pogo pin in the center could do 40 watts with zero heat issues
