Wired when I can but Magsafe when I can't.

Wired for during the day, wireless at night
Wired when possible. I hate how a lot of wireless chargers are slower and heat the phone up.
MagSafe overnight. Easy to grab and go in the morning and I’m not concerned about charging speed.
Throughout the day, wired.
What’s the difference between MagSafe and wireless? I use a MagSafe charger and love it but have also been using my MacBook charger for super fast charging..
Well the main benefit is the magnets of MagSafe guaranteeing that it’s in the right position. Some would argue it’s worse for charging your phone due to the heat it produces.
wired only, magsafe has made every phone I’ve used it with get hot more often.
MagSafe for convenience
I'm pretty much magsafe wireless all the time now. At my desk, on my nighstand, my car.
It's just so easy. You plop it down and set and forget. Especially with the new "charge only to 80%" feature, it's amazing.
Was using an Apple MagSafe charger with Apple 20W adapter. Quit MagSafe and now have an 6ft AmazonBasics cable to the Apple 20W adapter. Much better. Also wired with 3ft Apple cable to the integrated USB port. Both wired options charge faster than the MagSafe did.
I use Magsafe at night when I go to sleep and fast wired charging if I'm in a hurry or when I'm in the car.

magsafe, belkin 3:1 on desk and a magsafe car mount in the car. quickest way to grab and go
I use MagSafe at home. Wires everywhere else.
MagSafe in the car, wired everywhere else.
I use wired or MagSafe.
Wired at home (fast!!) and Magsafe when I’m out and about.
When I had my iPhone 14 PM I always used my MagSafe. Now, I have the 15 PM and I have a ring holder on the back of my phone for easier grip so I use wired charging. But overall, MagSafe for more convenience because I can drop my phone on the charger, but wired charging for a faster charger and wired charging doesn’t create as much heat.
Most of the time wired but sometimes using magsafe anker charger on my nightstand.
Wireless. I just put it on a pad when I go to sleep.
Wired for me
While sleeping, wired. At my home office, MagSafe.
Wired, charges once every 1-2 days. I bought a wireless Anker PowerWave Select+ that is in the car, which I used a couple of times
Wired, have never had any luck with any form of wireless charging and now I use a pop socket anyways
Wired to Anker Nano as needed. Typically wired Carplay use always keep me good
I’ll never use a wireless charger that isn’t magsafe. Had so many of them and you needed to have the phone lined up perfectly or it wouldn’t charge. There were many times I’d put it on the charger and a couple of vibrations would move it off the mark and it’d stop charging.
Wireless MagSafe all the way. Anti dust ass plug and my chargers are aliexpress. In the car one with a fan for some extra bit of cooling as my phone is a dashcam during driving and at home on stand duo charger.
Using this for years in my 12pm with no issues and 15pm gonna do the same.
Wired. I am cheap. I already have cables, and not having to plug in a cable is not worth the price of a MagSafe charger for me.
Wired whenever I remember to plug it in just before I leave
MagSafe at night for nightstand mode, but I used to just use a Samsung wireless charging pad at night because it had a fan built into the charger which helped with keeping the phone and charging pad from getting too hot. Outside of using a wireless charger at night, I use wired to charge throughout the day because I have a cable in my bag.
I’m generally MagSafe - 15W charging in the car when I drive. I have a 5w anker wireless charger/stand at my desk and it works pretty well. Between the two of them I never need wired charger.
MagSafe and if I need a quick boost then wired.
Imo wired is still the best, it's the fastest and you can still use your phone while charging, what you obviously can't really do when it has to sit on a wireless charger (at least you can't hold it)
All three. I have a MagSafe power bank that I carry with me if I’m going on long trips where I know I’ll be taking a lot of pictures and videos.
I use a wireless charger at home especially when working for long hours on my laptop, and I have a wireless charging holder in my car.
I use wired fast charging for, well, fast charging when I need to charge up before I go out and my battery is under 60%
I only use MagSafe. I bought iPhone 14 Pro Max on the release day and the battery health still shows 100%. I don’t believe in zero degradation but it shows the system is not able to see the significant change.
That’s amazing. My 14 Pro didn’t even make it one year before it was under 90. Currently sitting at 88. Do you use 15w charging?
Magsafe, 100% My pockets seem to hide all of their lint in my iPhone Lightning port, and I got tired of having to dig it out once a month.
Wireless for work only because I use a charging stand before MagSafe was introduced. The charging stand lets the phone be in portrait mode and unlocking through Face ID by merely looking at it was super convenient. Also easy to take and go for meetings etc.
MagSafe for the car
Wired while charging next to the bed because it’s faster and won’t heat up while playing games.
Wire
What’s the difference between Magsafe and wireless?
Wired always. Charging is faster and allows to use the phone while being charged.
MagSafe at home. SO simple. I use wired in the car.
I only use magsafe cause I messed up my lightning port but I'd probably be using wired more. magsafe is still good tho
as for chargers get anker they're cheaper than Apple for the same amount of watts as apples and they're smaller. or their 30W bricks are the same price as apples 20W brick
wired mag safe never works for my phone
