Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

    I use one at work to passively charge my phone without having to deal with cables. Keeps my desk a bit tidier.

      I like keeping my desk clean too but there is the inevitable person who says “clean desks are for simple minds and true geniuses thrive in chaos” so I have to keep a corner of loose wires to look smart

        You can certainly have both. Fewer cables means more room for chaos, like my USB powered mini handvac

      Is yours under the surface? I tried using one, but didn’t like the clutter of the pad on my desk. I’m a special kind of neat freak in my immediate work space though.
