It’s inefficient for energy, but it’s efficient at saving charging cords. My girlfriend goes through one lightning cord a year.
A phone only needs like 5 watt hours a day max, which is a cost of 365 * $0.08 * 0.005 = $0.15 a year at local prices
I feel like having to replace charging cords is an Apple issue specifically.
I’m horrified by the amount of time my wife had to replace her Mac charger because the cord was breaking.
I don’t think I ever had to replace the cord on any of my laptop, replacing the charger because the cord is breaking has never been a consideration before.
I work retail, people come in with broken Apple cables more than almost any other cable.
Surprisingly these people are also often very picky with getting the Apple-Branded cables as well, even USB C
Literally any cable other than Apples will not break like that.
I’ve had the same 100w tb3 cable for 4 years. It charges all of my devices and gets a ton of use.
Wireless charging is still a little gimmicky imo. It has only come in useful when my friend’s iPhone needed to mooch some charge off of my phone.
The headphone jacks are pointless to include bc they’re so horribly underpowered. USBc headphones or a dongle is 10x better.
How does the wireless charger connect to power again?
You don’t need to replug it daily. Usually the cord doesn’t break, actually, it’s the connector at the end of the cord
