What’s your preferred method/settings and reasoning for charging your phone that way?
Also include any recommendations for chargers if possible
Wired
Only wired.
i use wired
Currently plugged into a 10 footer. Wired gang stand up.
I have a wireless at my bedside and a 10 footer in the living room. Will be glad to go usb-C in like 2/3 years from my 13 pro.

We here!
All I ever need is my USB…
Both magsafe and wireless for me.
Wired, noticed my phone got super hot when charging wirelessly. Not sure if it was my charger or not.
i bought a cheap magsafe from shein, cut the wire off and just charge with a wired but have a magsafe stand
I bought a MagSafe stand to use at night (Standby/Alarm Clock). I use wired when I’m lounging, watching videos. Wireless charging pad when I’m at work/my desk.
What stand did you get?
Just a basic one off Amazon. “CreaDream Stand for MagSafe Charger, Aluminum Stand Holder”
MagSafe on the Anker Cube at night and wired for CarPlay.
I just got an Anker cube. Pricey, but I do love it.
Agreed, but wireless car play is a game changer when available. Super nice.
Same . I want a second cube for my other desk . It looks so clean to have your phone there while working
the only place I use MagSafe is in the car with wireless CarPlay lol
Wireless in the car, wired in the house.
Wired 5w.
Wired. Better and faster charging
And less heat
More efficient as well. I don’t get the appeal for wireless. It’s practically a gimmick.
I only charge at night. I can drop my phone on the charger in the dark, hear it “click” and know it’s going to be charged in the morning.
Tbh they should’ve let this be a pro feature and 120hz the common feature.
It’s more the magnetic than wireless for me. You can just drop your phone on a stand on your desk and leave.
But no issue if you are charging overnight
Rubbish! my magsafe is 7.5W - what heat!?
Wire
Wireless for work only because I use a charging stand before MagSafe was introduced. The charging stand lets the phone be in portrait mode and unlocking through Face ID by merely looking at it was super convenient. Also easy to take and go for meetings etc.
MagSafe for the car
Wired while charging next to the bed because it’s faster and won’t heat up while playing games.
What’s the difference between Magsafe and wireless?
Wired always. Charging is faster and allows to use the phone while being charged.
