I don't get this at all. I use wireless pads in the house and keep one lightening cable in the car. I don't think I'll notice the difference

Magsafe charger on a Ram mount has been a huge win for me in the car. It charges, and it's got a predictable place instead of wherever i drop it.

It's a little annoying in a house like mine where I have a Pixel and my Mrs has an iPhone.

It’s been possible to charge iPhones and Pixels the same way for years – just put them down on a charging pad. Zero wires required.

Yes, just several new wireless charging pads.

And wireless powerbanks for when going outside.

And no data option with them.

I take it you're exclusively an apple iphone/airpod pro interpersonal relationship person.

No kids with android. No wife, husband, whatever with android. No friends with android. Just that trusty ole iphone and airpods.

Plus no iPad, no laptops with USB-C chargers, no battery banks with USB-C inputs/outputs, no other ereaders with usb-c, no USB-C desk fan, no USB-C headphones...

Must be interesting.

Like they said, they keep a Lightning cable in their car. They didn't say that it's a USB-A to Lightning cable. I own USB-C power banks and so forth, and use a USB-C to Lightning cable to plug my iPhone into them.

> no USB-C desk fan

Are you, uh, powering a desk fan off your phone?

In a pinch you grab what you can, and if what you need is USB-C, you have a lot more options.

No, but I power it with a USB-C cable.

And with a phone having USB-C I can just use the same to power my phone when I want. Or power my phone from a powerbank without another cable specially made for this brand of phone.
