I’ve had Apple phones ever since there were Apple phones. Never had to replace a battery after two years due to it swelling. With my X model I purchased the Apple approved Morphi wireless charging pad. Within 18 months I noticed a bulge in the screen but it didn’t dawn on me that it was the battery. A few months later, while using it, it began to “explode” in my hand. Ok, not really explode, but I could feel the actual expansion as it happened and the high heat which came with the expansion.
I agree with the articles I have read which state that these charging methods are very hard on the batteries.
people want slimmer phones, fast charging. The battery technology we have today can not yet safely provide both of those requirements. Plug in with a wire!
