Wireless charging 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.

But 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.

I 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?
