Charging without wires is not the only reason to embrace wireless charging. If your phone is water- or dust-resistant, the necessary charging port covers can be fiddly and annoying; with wireless, you don’t have to touch them at all.

There are other benefits. The most common wireless charging standard, Qi, is available in all kinds of public places, especially in the US - so if you’re in an airport or hotel you can often find a wireless charging pad.

There’s another benefit. Because wireless charging is a universal standard, you could potentially use one set of chargers for a whole bunch of devices - phone, smartwatch, tablet and so on.

That could reduce the amount of cables and international power adapters we make and discard. In the very long term, we might even have wireless charging pads for electric cars.
