Wireless Charging — Why It Hasn't Replaced Cables: 7 Disadvantages of the Technology.

Wireless charging has been around for over a decade, but most users still prefer wired charging. Its convenience proves to be less practical in everyday use than a regular cable.

According to Gizmochina, the phone can lie on the dock without a cable, but the dock itself still needs to be plugged into an outlet. And while wired charging can be used very conveniently anywhere, wireless charging has its own drawbacks.

It’s Not Exactly 'Cordless'

The phone lies on the dock without a cable, but the dock itself requires connection to an outlet, making it less mobile and practically 'contact-based,' rather than fully cordless.

Constant Alignment Game

For proper charging, the phone must be placed on the dock in precisely the right position, and even the smallest unevenness can stop the charging process. This is particularly inconvenient when the phone needs to charge while working.
