The wireless charging pads for phones are game changers, I have spent so much time fiddling with charging ports that have gotten worn out, sticking pieces of paper underneath them so it actually connects etc. The only time they aren't ideal is when you're trying to use your phone in bed while it's charging.
I solve this problem with magnetic adapters for my usb cable, can run micro/c/lightning on the same cables that way
mine was going to be magnetic adapters. They are AMAZING. I am replacing various USB cables. Here is a random image of a connector I have not specifically used that illustrated the idea for those who are unaware:
they turn any usb c or micro usb (along with a number of proprietary interfaces I don't care enough to know about) into a mag lock.
there are issues with them. lots of different types; no standardization. For me, the cables with the hinged ends are the best ones.
I bought a wireless charging stand for my earbuds, phone, and watch last year. It's a lot more convenient, and only takes up one outlet rather than three.
