For sure, wireless chargers don’t keep up with heavy use. It’s a very passive charging speed and that’s one big advantage to the Ankers and others that support wired charging. If you need higher speed charging you can plug it in.

Thing is, I didn’t expect it to be as fast as wireless charging.

I just didn’t want the phone to drain even when it was just in my pocket or bag but it did, especially with the Apple one. Very disappointed with that one.

I could even accept that my phone would throttle when in use but never understood why it wouldn’t charge when it wasn’t, i.e., bag or pocket.

Doesn’t help that my country is hot and bright AF. I’m pretty sure those anecdotes that claim the Apple model works fine are from users that live in cooler countries.

Figured the faster I’m done charging, the faster I can put the power bank back into my bag, hence my switch back to cabled fast charging.

Side story:

It’s partly why I regret getting the 14 Pro Max as I almost always leave the house with even a tiny bag/satchel so bringing a power bank like the Anker 633 isn’t a problem.

Then I wouldn’t have to deal with the phone too big and still have plenty of battery life.
