    If I didn’t miss it, no wireless charging again… Some one told me they refuse to do it because it wastes electricity. To which I’d say, even just turning on a car probably uses magnitudes more energy than charging my phone wirelessly. I don’t want to mess up the USB C port if I don’t have to, thanks.

      Yeah, the wireless charging is a no-go for me as well. I understand that it costs licensing and wastes energy. But the environmental impact of all the useless/lost cables is also a point,especially when you get your energy fully renewable/self produced. And in a lot of areas (airline lounges,etc.) it has become widely adopted/the norm.

      They could easily have offered a “swap” battery that has a little less capacity but includes wireless charging - give people a fucking choice.

        I agree wireless charging would be nice. But for a small company I don’t think they can do it “easily”. It’s 150 people team and how many phones do they even sell? I imagine it’s not enough yet to support all that.
