    Very much in favor of the mag induction charging! That should be a standard for wall plugs as well

      MagSafe/Qi2 is definitely convenient, but you have to be wary of its downsides. 2 of which are:

      • wireless induction wastes a good amount of energy being transferred
      • wireless induction additionally heats up the battery and reduces its lifespan

      But the good news is, it’s basically the defacto standard. Since Apple opened up this standard it pretty much killed all the competition. The adoption is expected to increase in the coming years.
