TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

I guess I'm one of the few people who prefers wireless charging. I haven't used a cable in my phone for years

    I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.

    Although, to be fair, it does kind of product extra waste in the short term. I’m definitely going to be trashing a decade of lightning crap and buying USB C cables.

    I have some USB C cables in the house already, but I don’t want to be crawling behind things to unplug / replug stuff or carry cables from place to place. I also want to be able to charge two things in one place at the same time. Laptop and phone. Phone and headphones, etc.

    With 2 bedside tables, 2 work desks, 2 cars, and another random living room charge spot in the house, I’m probably going to replace about 7 cables.

    I guess I don't need to use my phone when it's charging as much as most people, or maybe just don't use my phone as much period

    My iPhone 12 battery is kind of trash now, so using the phone plugged-in is common now.

    When my battery was fresh, I would make it to the evening, plop it down, and be done. Now I need to charge once or twice in the middle of the day, and I usually notice that I need to charge while I’m using the device.

    Personally, wireless isn’t fast enough about half the time and current high-power charging can charge even iPhones up extremely fast to the point I’d rather plug in for 20 minutes then sit my phone on the Qi charger for an hour. However, that would change if wireless charging technology caught up.

    You may want to consider replacing your phone battery if it isn’t lasting all day. I just set my phone on a Qi charger at night and I never have to plug my phone in during the day. Maybe I just don’t use my phone that much though, idk

    I get around that by having multiple wireless chargers where I'm usually not using my phone. One next to my bed, one at my desk, another in the kitchen. I just plop the phone down and it tops itself up.

    Not having to dig around for a cable in the dark when I go to bed is pretty nice.

    where I'm usually not using my phone

    This is why my house is a tangled mess of cables. The only time I’m not actively on my phone is when I’m asleep. I’ve got a 10’ cable beside my bed for the time just prior to sleeping and just after waking up. 😬

    Even when I’m working, I’m constantly picking up and checking news, or games, or messages, or whatever. I don’t have enough “inactive” time throughout the day to get anything from wireless charging.

    Oh, hello, me! Nice to see me here!

    I invested in some magnetic cables so I just put the little magnet end in the charge port (have lightning, c, and micro), and never take it out. Then I can use the same cables for everything. (My phone case blocks wireless charging, and the other things I frequently need to charge don’t have wireless at all, so this is a good system for me)

    I don't like that in order to use my phone while it's charging on a wireless charger, I need to pick up the whole wireless charger, wire and all, and then it kind of defeats the purpose.

    I think it doesn't work well for people who need to have their phones in their hands at all times (me).
