Rene Ritchie (iMore) doesn't understand wireless charging

[BioFanatic]

Just saying what I said from the get go. Wireless charging in my opinion is gimmicky. And has been know to cause long term battery damage according to reputable sources. But don't use topping off as a argument when constantly topping off with a wireless charger can cause damage anyway.

Ha, dude... Nobody is forcing anyone else to use it. You can find all the reasons in the world to defend stubborn behaviour, but the entire point of this entire post is that Rene is acting immature and is denying that there is a convenience associated with wireless charging.

Choice is a good thing.

Stop trying to hijack this thread and make it about the apparent horrors of wireless charging.

If you like using a wall charger or a wireless charging pad or a combination of the two methods, it's all good. Use whatever method works best for you. This is a no boliviation zone.

I have an LG wireless charger, actually.

It came with the G3 when we got it earlier this year.

It works like a charm. I just put it on and it charges. Simple as that. (Though the charger needs to be plugged in, but its no biggie).

I don't use wireless charging often because it does heat up the battery a little more, but it's not worrying and I actually do like the convenience of it. Plus, the battery on the G3 is removable, so as long as LG keeps making G3 batteries, there shouldn't be any worries of longevity.

Plus, the charger doubles as an awesome phone stand.

And again what is gimmicky to you .. doesn't mean it is to others.

Yup, it's not gimmicky to me at all... In fact it's super convenient

Are your hands going to break from plugging the phone into a charger?

So why did Apple create a magnetic connector for it's macbooks? Will plugging in a normal charger break users hands? Why did Apple create the lightning connector? Will it break users hands using the old version?

It's all about simplicity and ease of use

I'm still quite intrigued about how you thought that wireless chargers work if you didn't have to plug them in?

I thought they were like the battery juicers that you charge them up and then they operate wirelessly

Why do you keep referring to the way people choose to do things as "stubborn behavior"? Just because people don't want to do things the same way as you or find different ways than you to be better for them doesn't mean they are being" stubborn". It just means they have a different OPINION

Link still recommends conditioning, which should be avoided. Hmm.

Great news for you. Some wireless chargers are exactly as you describe:
