Wireless charging: myths vs. reality

Wireless charging has become a common feature of modern smartphones and accessories. However, with the growing number of MagSafe chargers, stands and holders, a lot of myths are spreading. What's the real story with wireless charging safety? And what does the Cubenest brand do to keep your devices charging efficiently and risk-free?

❌ Myth: Wireless charging destroys the battery

✅ Fact: Modern wireless charging doesn't contribute to accelerated battery wear any more than wired charging. Properly designed Qi/MagSafe chargers, for example, switch to "trickle charge" after reaching 80% and actively regulate the temperature.

❌ Myth: Magnets in MagSafe damage your phone

✅ Fact: MagSafe uses weak, precision-tuned magnets designed solely for coil alignment. There is no evidence that they damage the battery or electronics.

❌ Myth: Wireless chargers overheat and cause your phone to overheat

✅ Fact: Yes, wireless charging always generates slightly more heat than a cable - inductive transfer is less efficient and some of the energy is converted to heat. However, modern Qi/MagSafe chargers have temperature control, FOD (foreign object detection) and charging will slow down when the temperature is higher or reaches a certain level.

❌ Myth: Wireless charging is slower than cable

✅ Fact:Yes, most wireless chargers have lower charging power than quality wired chargers (e.g. USB-C PD with 20-60W power). But the MagSafe standard on iPhones supports up to 15 W, which is fast enough for daily charging in normal use.The difference in time compared to cable is not dramatic, if:

• You have a MagSafe-compatible device and charger,
• you charge without a case or with a MagSafe cover,
• you don't use your phone heavily while charging.
• Cubenest chargers are designed for stable 15W power with optimized transfer without overheating.

❌ Myth: Wireless charging is inefficient and wastes energy

✅ Fact: Wireless charging is slightly less efficient than wired charging - some energy is lost as heat due to electromagnetic induction. While cable reaches up to 95% efficiency, wireless can have 70-80% (sometimes even less with poor alignment).But that doesn't mean it's dangerous or bad for the battery.

Modern chargers (including those from Cubenest) include:

• precisely tuned coils for better alignment
• foreign object detection and temperature sensors,
• power regulation to limit unnecessary heating.
• Protection: thermal, surge, short circuit, current
• How to know a safe and quality wireless charger?

When choosing, look for:

✅ Qi certification or MagSafe-compatibility
✅ Precise magnetic attachment
✅ Thermal, current, surge and short circuit protection
✅ Strong but safe power (15W)

Cubenest products meet all of these requirements plus add elegant design and quality workmanship.

Summary

Wireless charging is safe as long as you know what you're buying. Don't be put off by outdated myths. Wireless charging today is reliable, fast and most importantly convenient. Invest in a quality brand like Cubenest and enjoy the full potential of modern charging without compromise.
