Joshua the otterbox cases do support wireless charging. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Saturday, April 1, 2023 10:12 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Differences in iPhone 14 models
I don't want to have a wireless charger plugged in all the time. I don't have the set up to have something like a wireless charger always plugged in and set up. Also, you can't get something like an otterbox case with fast wireless charging. I wouldn't change my otterbox commuter series case just to have wireless charging.
