Not really a big fan of the Lightning connector.

IMHO it’s a poor design.

The socket on this iPhone 6S+ is wearing out because the springs are in the device and not the cable. It’s hit and miss if the phone charges now.

(I keep it still because I want an iPhone with a 3.5mm headphone socket).

Well it's got wireless charging now so many people will essentially never use the Lightning connector ever.

It's slow though and somewhat inefficient compared to fast wired charging.

I really wish they would just upgrade the Lightning connector to the industry standard USB-C port that Apple thankfully use on everything else.

Can you use the phone while wireless charging? I often don't charge at night.
