Why not wireless charging?

I don't mind the connector (lightning works well), better would be mandatory quality of the cables (the iPhone cables are regularly breaking).

> Why not wireless charging?

Much less efficient, so not a good environmental strategy which is the key thing this is aiming at (reducing electronic waste as people throw out old chargers with old devices). Also, for the same efficiency reason, best charging speed is not as fast at least with current tech.

Furthermore, wireless charging standards are much more in-flux than USB-C ATM and might be for some time.
