There are a lot of tips out there about the right and wrong ways to charge your iPhone — and plenty of misconceptions floating around about wireless charging, as well. Wireless charging is a convenient tool to help you charge your device when you don’t have charging cables around. It can be used for a variety of devices — from phones to headsets and even laptops and notebooks. But concerns have been raised about how safe and effective wireless chargers actually are. How many of these questions are legit and how many are non-issues?
Let’s get to the bottom of this.
Can wireless chargers damage your iPhone? Here’s the truth.
Wireless Chargers Don’t All Damage Your Phone’s BatterySome wireless chargers can damage your battery, it’s true. But a great many others will not. The concern here isn’t ALL wireless chargers, but rather, low-quality chargers and possibly some knock-off chargers that were purchased on the cheap. These counterfeit chargers didn’t go through quality control measures and promises can’t be made that they are entirely safe for your device.
But if you are using a trusted brand and one that has tested the devices that you’ll likely be charging (including your iPhone), it’s prepared to deliver the charging speed needed for that specific device.
