Wireless charging is fine but I use a corded charger in my truck. More importantly, my power banks use corded charging.

On top of all that, I would not continue using a device without repair, in which the primary means of charging it was inoperative.

Its something else to lose easily, if they come in packs it would be good, lose it, meh, grab another and go on your way, for that reason I don't use them and mine sees motorcycle duty but it too has to be plugged in, which probably keeps most road dirt out.

I'd keep a can of the compressed air around and dust it out from time to time.

I discoveredI can feel the lint build up when I’m plugging in the cord end, before actual symptoms. When it’s clean it sounds crisper, feels firmer and fully seated. I’ve been using a toothpick, but might switch to the plastic ones.

I use an induction charger.

Forget plugging in... I actually wore out a plug-in port on one 4 year old phone.

Wife and I both, mag charger on each bedside table.

We just drop our phone on it when we undress at night... hear the "ping" and you know it is charging.

Grab it up the next morning, SUPER nice, would never go back.

I will note they are not all equal I guess, mine is a couple years older then hers, early one out, and if I place the phone off-center enough it doesn't connect... hence I listen for the "ping". Wife doesn't have that issue with hers.

Perhaps the newer ones, or newer phones, are stronger or have larger spots to connect.

Both daughters use 'em too...

I like this idea. The wireless charging is great and all, but it always seems hit/miss trying to charge through my iPhone case. Because of this, it gets plugged in on my nightstand every night.
