Do you have a source? I thought this has been thoroughly debunked.

> thoroughly debunked.

I wish people would stop using this phrase.

Especially when they couldn't be more wrong.

Heat degrades batteries, wireless charging generally comes with more heat from the lower efficiency.

But at the end of the day it most likely won't matter as people get new phones every few years anyways.

There are so many more factors than heat though

For one, I thought charging slower was better, so could the increased heat be offset by that? Also, it's more heat per joule transferred, but over a longer period of time, is that not better than sudden heat from fast charging?

But fast charging makes batteries very hot too.

Btw, you basically just asked people to know when they are wrong. Seems very optimistic...
