What’s your preferred method/settings and reasoning for charging your phone that way?

Also include any recommendations for chargers if possible

The charging port on my phone broke in 2021. I don't know what it would have cost to get it repaired, but I'm certain it would have been more than the cost of the 3 Anker wireless charging pads that I bought for $45. I charged wirelessly for the next 2 years because that's the only way I could do it. After I got a new phone with a functional charging port, I did not see any good reason to give up the convenience of wireless charging. I doubt I'll ever go back.

If you are content to charge at 7.5w, then get the Anker 313 wireless charging pads. They work great and they are dirt cheap. There is a new wireless charging standard now (Qi2) and new chargers supporting that standard should be coming out any time now. Current Qi chargers are limited to 7.5w and don't have magnets. The new Qi2 chargers will be 15w with magnets, so very similar to Apple's MagSafe charger.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't qi2 adopt Apple's Magsafe magnet layout?
