Great for keeping your device charged

One caveat - this is my first Qi wireless charger. I bought it because the price was right and I was interested if wireless charging would be something useful in my daily workflow. I usually charge my iPhone (11 XS Max in this case) with cables. Standard USB-A to Lightning cable for overnight charging and USC-C to Lightning cable when I need a quick charge. I've never seen the appeal of wireless chargers as they're technically non-wireless (yes, I'm that guy) and charge slowly. That being said, I use the Anker wireless charger fairly regularly. This is good for keeping my phone 100% charged when not plugged in. It's pretty handy to leave it on the charger and pick up the phone when I need to quickly text or take a call. I've heard stories of "gone the sweet spot" and the phone wouldn't charge despite having a charger, but I haven't experienced this issue. I even placed the phone upside down on the charger with no problems. If my iPhone is in an appropriate position in the center of the tablet, it will charge. YMMV as I don't have other phones to see if this applies to other brands/models nor do I use a case so I can't comment on this use case. I'm happy with this charger and it made me believe in wireless charging / Qi charging. I'm thinking of buying a vertical wireless charger for my desk.
