What’s your preferred method/settings and reasoning for charging your phone that way?

Wired
Only wired.
MagSafe on the Anker Cube at night and wired for CarPlay.
I just got an Anker cube. Pricey, but I do love it.
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
Agreed, but wireless car play is a game changer when available. Super nice.
Wired when I can but Magsafe when I can’t.
Wireless in the car, wired in the house.
Wireless but the Anker brick is fast
magsafe. my port went to shit.
The charging port on my phone broke in 2021. I don’t know what it would have cost to get it repaired, but I’m certain it would have been more than the cost of the 3 Anker wireless charging pads that I bought for $45. I charged wirelessly for the next 2 years because that’s the only way I could do it. After I got a new phone with a functional charging port, I did not see any good reason to give up the convenience of wireless charging. I doubt I’ll ever go back.
If you are content to charge at 7.5w, then get the Anker 313 wireless charging pads. They work great and they are dirt cheap. There is a new wireless charging standard now (Qi2) and new chargers supporting that standard should be coming out any time now. Current Qi chargers are limited to 7.5w and don’t have magnets. The new Qi2 chargers will be 15w with magnets, so very similar to Apple’s MagSafe charger.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t qi2 adopt Apple’s Magsafe magnet layout?
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…
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”
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.
It’s more the magnetic than wireless for me. You can just drop your phone on a stand on your desk and leave.
Tbh they should’ve let this be a pro feature and 120hz the common feature.
But no issue if you are charging overnight
Rubbish! my magsafe is 7.5W - what heat!?
Magsafe at home, have a handful of chargers where I most commonly set my phone down, I never have to think twice about charging my phone, when it’s set down, it’s charging. Have a cable in my car as I need it for carplay.
I am nearly 100% MagSafe.
Wired 5w.
Both magsafe and wireless for me.
