I think the idea of reverse wireless charging is cool as hell, but only if you have wireless buds or a smartwatch to take advantage of it.
The heat, energy loss, and extra time to use wireless charging is not worth it to use full time imo. You also cannot use your device nearly as much on a wireless charger vs a long cable.
But when it's integrated into bar tops, tables, etc., to charge your phone while at a restaurant or something, that's extremely convenient.
It feels very situational to me.
Yeah it's niche use doesn't really make it a selling point for me, others things I'd rather have before it.
The reverse charging is a cool feature though, but I feel like phone batteries just aren't big enough for it to be useful outside of a quick partial charge of something like a smartwatch like you mentioned.
Maybe once the tech advances a bit more I can be convinced, but right now a cable does the job well.
