Whats the least evil phone I can buy?

The answer is none, isn't it?

On a related note, Huawei phones are hard to find in Australia :thinkin-lenin: I wonder why? :xi-lib-tears:

    I was surprised to hear this so I read a bit of the article. It seems to come down to temperature, particularly from increased power output due to misalignment, which explains the later iPhones magnetic alignment thing… I bet the mag field helps too.

    Consider this, folks, a lion battery can basically go 0-100% a finite number of times. The wear is exponential: charging to 20% and draining to 0 is much worse than charging to 100% and draining to 80%. So, if the convenience of wireless charging helps you keep your battery in the happy zone, you’ll get more life out of it.

    Also, mechanical ports into a phone are a nightmare.

      That makes sense; a matter of degree.

      Whenever I've tried wireless charging, my phone does tend to get much hotter than wired charging, but I've always wondered if this is from having a case on the phone.

        Like misalignment, distance will require to whole system to work harder and produce more heat.
