    Maybe not, but why put further stress on the environment when you don’t need to?

    The battery degradation problem is serious though. Even without wireless charging, none of my battery powered devices stay usable for more than a few years anymore despite me still being happy with the compute hardware. Our current rate of electronics production is already heavily straining the environment and also produces a massive demand for unethical labour. It will only get worse if manufacturers decide to ditch wired charging for wireless.
