Quite - why complexify and lower the charge efficiency it by making it wireless to hold it in exactly the same position as dock?

A perfect example - to my mind - of where a dock would be better, and probably cheaper.

As far as cloud goes, I realise I'm an outlier - perhaps not so much on HN - but I want local copies and start by mistrusting cloud unless I have adequate redundancy. So iPhone gets locally backed up still. Can't see that changing soon, wireless or no. :)

My iPhone can wirelessly back up to iTunes on my Mac Mini while charging on my wireless dock using WiFi.
