Slow charging unless using a quick charge wall charger , phone easily to overheat , cannot use your phone while charging unless using phone case with magnetic back

If you are an Apple fan , your table probably is full of wires and cables that use to charge your AirPods , Apple Watch , and iPhone . This chaotic arrangement may cause your table to look messy or even affect your work efficiency . Fortunately , with the rise of wireless charging , this is an easy problem to solve .

BASIC FEATURES

Apple official website stated the MagSafe Charger , “ provide [ s ] faster wireless charging up to 15W ,” which can used to wirelessly charge iPhone , selling for $ 39 . On Taobao , the price for the MagSafe Charger has a wide range , where the price can go down to 39 RMB and up to 140 RMB . Yet , something to note is the cheap price tend to be fake products .

MY THOUGHTS

My experience with Apple Wireless Charger is not bad . Some cons that I spotted is unless you are using a quick charge wall charger , the charging is slower , and my phone ( iPhone XR ) tended to overheat easily .
On the other hand , the portable design of Wireless Charger makes it more convenient to carry around . And Wireless Charger creates a tidier and more organized desktop due to less wires and cables it needed . Lastly , Wireless Charger allows higher work efficiency . When I was using Wireless Charger to charge my phone , I found that since I cannot use my phone while charging , my efficiency increased .
I believe wireless charging is worth it due to its portable design , high compatibility with various products , as well as creating a tidier desktop , and safer charging space .
