TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

    You can’t use a wireless charger while in bed. Unless it’s magnetic, then it’s also got the bending risk.

    I lay in bed all the time with my phone charging, the cable bends, but I’m aware of it, it’s never broken. I’ve had this specific one for 4 years now.

    What if I want to charge in a different room? Do I buy another wireless charger? That’s more cost and material again versus just a cable. Do I unplug the charger and take it with me? Cables just make way more sense. Your phone is tethered to something either way, might as well do it the more efficient and green way and plug a cable in.
