Huge! The WPS is practically forcing Samsung, Google & Co to adopt iPhone-like MagSafe wireless charging very soon, but Android users are celebrating (as they should)!

, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo) could jump on the MagSafe train wagon quite a bit sooner than the likes of Samsung and Google. Sure, that’s in part thanks to their general attitude of “being first” but also - Samsung’s foldable phones , are devices that work with very limited space, which could be better utilized if used for larger batteries... when it comes to timely hardware upgrades .

Android finally borrowing a truly useful feature from Apple, but there’s more iPhone hardware worth “stealing”I hope you picked up on what I’m about to propose by my cheeky “text tone”, but yes - I’m suggesting that Android should borrow a few more iPhone features ! Here goes nothing… The iPhone’s alert slider is truly something every Android device can benefit from, and something that every Android user deserves; remember, I’m also aI know I probably just lost half of you with this one, but as a big Touch ID supporter myself, I can’t deny that switching from iPhone 8 and Pixel 6 Pro to an iPhone 13 with Face ID, I feel a little bit…; don’t get me wrong, the ideal solution would still be having both Face ID and Touch ID, but Apple’s face unlocking tech is every bit as secure...

The future of wireless charging isn’t MagSafe but it’s a better alternative to what Android has right nowMagSage and what’s going to be the Wireless Power Consortium’s new wireless charging standard might indeed be an improved version of what we currently know and have as wireless charging on Android, but I say… charging is something that companies have been experimenting with for years, and the reason is because this is exactly what the ultimate version of wireless charging is expected to look...

So, if that’s out the door, what’s left? MagSafe? For now, maybe! Although, my personal take is that forward-thinking and money-possessing tech giants will indeed figure out a way to make sure we never run out of battery, but that might not necessarily be via antennas... Let me know how excited you'd be to see MagSafe make its way onto phones like the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8 and why! Or maybe you aren’t? I’m all ears/eyes.
