    how many times does the average person use wireless charging? Seriously, I haven’t seen anyone do that yet, or know of someone who uses that.

    and yet that’s still a major feature in lots of phones

      “It’s not in front of my face, so it doesn’t exists!”

      That’s literally the thinking abilities of a toddler. Wireless chargers sell like hotcakes. MagSafe charger is Apple’s most popular accessory in their entire history.

      If I’ve asked a question twice and you’ve danced around it both times, that tells everyone what your answer is.

        someone who is often listening to music with their phone and wired headphones, or even just when arriving at home from work, is going to use both the charger and the jack at the same time frequently.

        another scenario is if the person uses their phone as the microphone for their PC.

        you can argue that both must be rare because you have never seen them done, that’s my exact opinion about wireless charging

          Funny you bring up wireless charging.

          Does that not solve your proposed problem? You can use a usb-c to audio dongle, which often comes with better sound quality than a phones DAC, and wirelessly charge, even via many powerbanks. These are features found fairly commonly in today’s phones, so problem solved?

      I use wireless charging every single day and majority of my non techie friends do as well. Its so convenient to have a wireless charger on the desk and put your phone there. They are dirt cheap as well.
