Also include any recommendations for chargers if possible

    MagSafe on trips, at my desk, or with my Belkin MagSafe battery. Wired everywhere else.

    Usually when I’m on a trip I just find it more convenient to use the MagSafe puck, or if I’m hanging out at my desk, that’s easier to use and have the phone propped up. The battery pack is also convenient on the go since it just snaps on, has a kickstand, and an extra USB port for any other accessories.

    Wired everywhere else because I always had lightning cables lying around at various lengths. Now with USB-C, not only do I have one everywhere but pretty much everywhere I go, someone’s bound to have one. Plus my CarPlay isn’t wireless.

    I absolutely love the Apple MagSafe battery pack.
    Having it manage charging for me is great.
    Really hoping they make a new one!

    I’ll never use a wireless charger that isn’t magsafe. Had so many of them and you needed to have the phone lined up perfectly or it wouldn’t charge. There were many times I’d put it on the charger and a couple of vibrations would move it off the mark and it’d stop charging.

    Wireless MagSafe all the way. Anti dust ass plug and my chargers are aliexpress. In the car one with a fan for some extra bit of cooling as my phone is a dashcam during driving and at home on stand duo charger.

    Wired. I am cheap. I already have cables, and not having to plug in a cable is not worth the price of a MagSafe charger for me.

    MagSafe at night for nightstand mode, but I used to just use a Samsung wireless charging pad at night because it had a fan built into the charger which helped with keeping the phone and charging pad from getting too hot. Outside of using a wireless charger at night, I use wired to charge throughout the day because I have a cable in my bag.

    I’m generally MagSafe - 15W charging in the car when I drive. I have a 5w anker wireless charger/stand at my desk and it works pretty well. Between the two of them I never need wired charger.

    Imo wired is still the best, it’s the fastest and you can still use your phone while charging, what you obviously can’t really do when it has to sit on a wireless charger (at least you can’t hold it)
