Fr, it's just a gimmick feature, it's not wireless, it's "wireless". It just looks wireless, but really they just shifted the wires to the back of the phone to a contact plate and called it a day.

Until I can just walk into a room and my phone starts charging (or at least within a foot or 2 of range), it's not wireless.

No they didn't? Mine has no contacts, and still works with a phone case on it. So it's somewhat wireless. Just not much range.

I didn't mean it literally, but functionally, it might as well be renamed "contact" charging.

Sure it has a tiny insignificant "range" just enough to make it through some cases, but even then some cases still need additional built-in wiring to "boost" it through.

NFC has better range FFS lmao

Ah ok, so that entirely different technology with an entirely different purpose has a longer range. Got it.
