Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

    If someone claims to care about the climate, then using wireless charging makes them kind of a hypocrite. I asked ChatGPT to do some back-of-the-envelope math - so take these numbers with a grain of salt - but if everyone in the world switched to wireless charging, it would increase global energy consumption by around 12 TWh per year. That’s roughly equivalent to the total power usage of a small country like Iceland.
