From what I've heard from starbucks employees who were there during the wireless charger tests: theft, device incompatibility, and people didn't know how it worked creating increased stress on baristas.

Once there is a universal standard every phone uses, it works 100% of the time (magsafe does help here), and is able to be completely flat (or incorporated into tables/desks), then you'll see an uptick in wireless chargers at cafes/restaurants.

I think hotels have been adopting them faster.

I don't understand why you are trying to create a standard when there is already one. My android phone can wirelessly share battery to an IPhone, my external battery can also charge wirelessly androids or iphones.

heck, even induction cooktop can charge phones.

> is able to be completely flat

Did you looked it up on amazon ? There are tons of flat charger.
