MagSafe charges super fast and it magnetizes to the back of your phone. Much better than using a port that can wear out over time. Plus, you can rest your phone on your chest while laying down, even if it’s charging. I wasn’t convinced of wireless charging until I got a 15w MagSafe charger.
Magsafe has a 15 watt limit. Compare this to the 12 Watts you could get from an old non-fast charger, and the 45-100 Watts you can get from a modern fast charger. Also factor in that Magsafe is inefficient and creates more waste heat and likely throttles charging as a result.
Meanwhile you're killing the battery with the extra heat.
Also the lighting port is pretty darn durable, and I've had no major issues with USB-C disability either.
It’s still faster than non-fast charging. Fast charging also creates way more heat, so your battery killer argument seems a bit moot. You also ignored the most important part of being able to rest it on your chest while charging it, lol. I’ll give it to you that the ports are quite durable.
