    The magnetic thing aligns the charging coils perfectly for increased efficiency.

    The hilarious thing are the wireless charging battery banks. Like, yes, let’s add giant battery banks that do nothing but make the phone super hot and overheat and only actually transmit like 50% of their energy anyway.

      Yes, I saw this in a comparison test where the iphone lost in a battery test while using a wireless magsafe powerbank against Xiaomi 17 with its single internal battery.
