Wait so wireless charging is you placing your phone on top of a charging surface and leaving it there?

How is that different from wired charging lol

Boris Galerkin: Dec 17, 2011; I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!

Lol the last place I want wireless charging is at an airport. Why would I want to leave my phone somewhere? And if it's charging that means I can't hold it in my hand, so what am I suppose to browse/game/watch videos with my phone sitting on the table for everyone to see?

the only reason they're using qi is because they are too late to introduce their own

realtalk: They tried to develop their own wireless standard back around the iPhone 6 era. A engineer just suggested they use the QI spec as it's easier and ready to go.

They killed the project.
