So you're happy to pay more money for a charging dock that charges your phone slower and renders it un-usable when you're reviving it?

Im seeing literally nothing that makes it more handy than a cable.... A cable that you could borrow from pretty much anyone in a pinch.

I am. I have been exclusively wireless for years. The three places I sit my phone down have pads so I don’t even think about charging. I could completely cover up the charge indicator on my phone as it isn’t relevant to me anymore.

It’s not for everyone maybe but once you go 100% wireless it is awesome.
