The iPhone X from an Android user’s perspective
Another good take. (I'm not a huge fan of The Verge, but I like Vlad's writing.)
I've kind of glossed over how awesome Qi charging is since I've been using it since 2012 - but the ecosystem for it now is pretty bad. I've got a 3-coil Nokia charger from 2012 that still works great, but I haven't been able to find anything comparable to charge my phone at my office. The charges now are all questionable from either an electrical perspective (all the Chinese brands) or a design perspective (come on Samsung, why would I want a fan in my charger?). I expect Apple entering the market will give us a wealth of quality chargers from reputable manufacturers within the next year.
