I'm talking about charging pedestals, using inductive charging.

Edit: Apple apparently does carry inductive chargers, but I don't know anything about alignment issues. I use a OnePlus phone.

Yes. I know what wireless charging is.

We had flat induction chargers because we also used them for our Airpods.

And they were finicky if you didn't center them carefully. So MagSafe has been a massive aggregation saver.
