This is great news for those us who prefer to charge our devices without plugging them in. Personally, I’m not a fan of wireless charging, but that’s because I live with cats and kids that have other ideas about me setting my phone precariously on a wireless pad that’s only a few inches across. Do you use wireless charging? Prefer it? Does a phone not supporting wireless charging influence your decision when you buy a phone?
