- I don’t want the weight, size and cost of wireless added
- I want wireless for convenience, no cable

So in 2020 we have 3 technologies merging:
-
wireless charging is getting powerful enough to compete with wired charging in smaller devices like phones. To go fully wireless charging is already viable, albeit it does with current phones accelerate phone aging.
-
Graphene cells are just around the corner as commercially viable which recharge fast, more recharge cycles, and handle the heat better of wireless charging. So phones can soon be made which last more than 2 years with graphene cells which can withstand the heat cell aging of wireless charging.
-
(suspicion) that the next logical step is a better IP rating phone with no ports, so you can only charge wirelessly, this enabled by the two points above.
So would you go for a port-less phone?
Portless, wireless-only phone then removes one of Anker’s most popular gadgets of a portable charger, unless…
And so to this thread, would you go for a wireless Anker Powercore? Even though it would end up thicker and more expensive? To pair with your wireless phone and/or to ditch the cable, and/or for convenience of not plugging in, even resting next to each other in pocket.
We’re probably talking adding $10-$30 to the Powercore, add a few mm thickness, you’d lose about 20%-30% of the stored energy due to wireless less efficiency, but you’d not buy nor carry a cable so these will be a wash for many.
