  Ridiculous “article” extrapolating from a single sample of two different phones used at different times.

  This is like writing an article “NEVER EVER TAKE AN UBER, ALWAYS LYFT” after you one Lyft in Chicago was good, but your one Uber in NYC was 10 minutes late

  > I would highly recommend you to avoid using a wireless charger for your iPhone, it will only hurt the battery health of your device, definitely stick with a charger that you plugin.

  This makes no sense to me, Even though I tend to be of the opinion that wireless charging is just a gimmick, wireless charging is most situations would probably deliver less current to the battery compared to wired, and that should have the opposite effect to battery health because lower currents will cause less internal heating to the battery.
