Isn't wireless charging always worse for battery health than just cable charging

So far Iā€™ve used the Anker a couple of times , 5times to be exact, and my battery health is still at 99%. I think as long as the battery is compatible with Apple products, there shouldnā€™t be any problems.

Sorry, I may have been misinformed about the negative effects of wireless charging, but apples magsafe charges with optimized charging charging will keep your battery life healthy for longer. Although, I would stick to trusted brands. I think the main issue when charging is that some wireless charges tend to generate more heat when charging which is bad for the battery health.

Just get the Apple battery pack. I had a Belkin Magsafe charger until I found out my sister threw it away. Itā€™s honestly the best one for battery health. ļæ¼

Not trying to worry you but I thought Iā€™d start MagSafe charging with my new 14ProMax. I brought an ESR brand 10000mAh powerbank/pass through one with a kickstand. My battery health dropped in 1 month. I also had ā€œcharging paused due to heatā€ messages sometimes. It could be coincidence but I stopped using it and went back to 20W Apple charging via lightning cable and my battery health stopped dropping and has remained the same. I do have a separate MagSafe mounted to the air vent in the car though and I do use that still. Make of all that what you willšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

All wireless charging banks charge lesser, charge slower, and gets warmer faster, compared to wired charging. It has to do with the physics and inefficiency of induction charging.

Although yes, trusted brands work better than random brands. And that the heat generated might not be significant enough to damage the battery. I personally use a Magsafe charger for overnight charging and hasn't seen my battery health move the past 1+ years.

Yes it is, because it generates way more heat.

Itā€™s convenience vs longevity.

If you have access to official battery replacement itā€™s not much a worry but if you live in a country without it, it probably is.

I have the Anker Magsafe. It does get warm same as when plugged with a wire. If battery health declines - which all batteries will- , so be it. One way or another, youll be going to replace your battery in the future.

When I travel I use fast charge. When at home I just use a slower/lower watt power brick, which generates a loooot less heat and not perceptible
