MagSafe wireless chargers definitely let you pick them up and use the phone like you would when it’s plugged it. Wireless charging certainly has its drawbacks, but constrained usage seems like an odd angle.

For instance, a few months before my most recent trip I bought a nifty MagSafe battery pack from Anker that also came with a travel stand I could set up in my hotel room. I could let my phone sit on the stand or I could slide the battery pack out and use it like I normally would. It reminds me of the days where I could just swap my cell phones batteries.

I use my phone while it’s charging most of the time. For that reason alone, wireless charging has zero appeal to me. Could be cool on a car though.
