It´s really up to you, whatever is most convenient! When sitting at my iMac I connect my iPhone to it and charge it that way...it seems to charge faster than putting it on my wireless charging pad. And I have heard that buying a cheap no-name wireless charger can harm the iPhone (overheating etc.), which is why I bought a Mophie wireless charger pad at my local Apple Store here in Germany, for €44,95 (about $52). And kb1951 is absolutely right...you can't overcharge an iPhone, either cable charging or wireless charging. Hope this helps you! Regards, Ian.
