Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

    The cold is also bad for batteries, so if you’ve been out in the winter for a while, it’ll help warm your phone up.

      But how often are you charging outdoors? I have my phone in my pocket when I’m not using it during such temps, which always keeps it decent. Li-ion really only starts taking a hit from cold temps <40° F; in fact, slightly cold is better than room temp.
