Anker MagGo is a wireless charger with a pad that you can place a phone on top of to start charging.

Unless you have a magnetic charger, you'll mess around with your phone placement for a while before you find the right spot.

Wireless charging is also more expensive, but the cost of wireless chargers is more than your simple charging block.

Most devices were originally designed to be charged with a cable.

If you're using a wireless charger, it can actually damage the charging port from the outside as well as put physical strain on the outer shell of the device.

Certain Qi wireless chargers are incredibly fast but for the most part, if you have a regular charging pad, you are not getting a huge boost in charging efficiency.
