magsafe (the one apple call in iphone) is wireless charging and yeah it charges slower. But this magnetic charging with adapter is still wired connection and fast charges (20W) so it's faster and probably safer for battery. This more behaves as magsafe macbook connector (which is wired).

I’m sure there is plenty of anecdotal evidence out there that goes either way on this. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max that’s almost 4 years now that I wirelessly change every night and the battery health is 83%. I think that’s pretty good for a device I constantly use every day. I’m still on the fence on getting a battery replacement from Apple while I still can, as this phone is still perfectly fine for my needs.

I'm in the same boat except that i bought one used. Battery health was also at 83% when i bought it, don't know what its now but lasting a full day so i dont care.

What do you mean "while you still can"? Will they discontinue battery replacements for the 11 at some point? At 80€ its a no brainer once the battery does start to deteriorate more

Actually I wasn’t aware that you can still get batteries officially replaced on older devices, it looks like they can go back as far as a 5S. I just assumed they cut off battery service once they stop updating iOS on a model.

Its fine for everybody's needs - unless youre shooting weddings or movies or something no one needs to spend 800+ USD on latest iphone, they can just buy one from a few gens back for less than half of that

I have similar anecdata. My iPhone X still has 88% battery capacity. It still easily lasts a full day of light/intermittent use and gets charged each night on a wireless charger. The battery life is now noticeably shorter in cold weather.
