also I think samsubg phones did (do?) helpfully play a loud notification tone and turn on the screen at full brightness to let you know the phone is fully charged and that you should unplug it "to conserve power", which I imagine is real fun at 3 am

so theyre basically pavloving users into stupid habits even more actively than you thought

HL> Thanks for being a Nexus fan! We added Qi wireless charging starting with N4 because plugging in USB micro B was such a hassle! (Which way is up!?) With this year’s Nexii, we support USB Type-C which has a reversible connector so there’s no more guessing. AND it charges incredibly swiftly: 1% to 100% in 97 mins on the 6P for example (the first ~45 mins of charging is especially fast). Meanwhile, wireless charging adds z (thickness). So, ease of plugging in + fast charging + optimizing for thinness made us double down on Type-C instead of wireless!

yeah usb-c's equivalent to how qc 3.0 behaves (since it uses the same qualcomm parts)

makes it just slightly faster than wireless quickcharge (by about 20 minutes)

e: http://phandroid.com/2015/09/25/samsung-fast-wireless-charging-comparison/

that's qc 2.0 vs wireless quickcharge vs regular wireless charging, but 3.0 has the same effective top charging speed, just does charging rate ramping differently

you're confused. i suspect your autism has impeded your ability to glean context. the telephone has an upper limit of 8 hours to complete its task, of charging. because i am asleep. it is authorized to take anywhere from 0 seconds through 8 hours. during that time, I'm not concerned about the state of its charge.

idea: sell lower power "slow" chargers to audiophiles for their pono players

charges batteries slowly so as not to disrupt the device's electromagnetic properties, and maintain electrical balance throughout the device's lifetime

$250 each, $375 and we'll include USB cable risers

I use my iPad less since I got the 6s plus. I have an Air 2 but probably won't get a new iPad any time soon since it will probably fine for shitposting and YouTube for a long time. A lot of people feel the same way about their iPad 4, Air, etc.

i don't like apple but i don't think that article is right, because i have a nexus 7 2013 and the only reason i have yet to buy a new one is how long it has lasted and it rarely leaves home, so i think most ipad users are on the same boat. it is just a long lasting type of device
