Wireless charging<\/a> is slowly taking over the smartphone world. Almost every flagship-grade phone supports it nowadays, and it only makes sense to have a Qi pad here and there around your home or workplace. Sure, it’s not incredibly fast, but that point is kind of moot, considering you can just rest your phone on a charging pad for the whole time you are not using it.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Preslav Kateliev<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nWhy are we talking about wireless charging? Well, recent rumors have been saying that Apple intends to ship the iPhone 12<\/a> phones with no wallcharger in the box. Feint whispers suggest that Samsung is considering doing the same<\/a> with its phones in the near future.<\/div>\n\nIs this corporate greed? Not necessarily. Companies are definitely under pressure by authorities in different parts of the world to try and reduce their e-waste. The EU famously asked Apple to ditch the Lightning connector and switch to a “common” standard so consumers would need to buy (and subsequently — throw away) less cables.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nTwo PhoneArena authors discussed the different aspects of removing the wall charger in a debate here<\/a>.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nBut this whole carfuffle made me ask myself another question. “When is the last time I plugged the iPhone in a cable?”. I have a wireless charger in my living room and one next to my gaming computer — the phone is always getting a bit of juice sporadically throughout the day. In fact, when I go to sleep, my phone usually has an 80-90% charge. When I want to transfer files, I usually do it wirelessly — I just can’t be bothered with digging for wires when I can just AirDrop or Google Drive my stuff.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nI am pretty sure a ton of gear heads out there have more accessories than me. But before I dare argue “the wall charger removal is not a big deal”, why not ask the public? When was the last time you actually hooked your smartphone to a wired wallplug to charge?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSee Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/plug-or-wireless-charging-iphone-12-charger-not-in-box_id125931<\/a>
