Wireless charging

Does anyone else feel the wireless charging takes really long to charge an iPhone X to 50% from 20% when charging in the arm rest?

Because wireless charging sucks with iphone because it's not at 2 amps, Super slow, 1990's tech. Better to plug in and get 2 amp charger, triple fast it seems.

It’s horrible. I’ll leave it in there to maintain a charge. If I need to actually charge it I bring the charger out

Mercedes is known for jumping 10 years back in tech, then doing other stuff way ahead, but whoever decided this one needs fired.

In Mercedes-Benz's defense , they invest and focus on the comfort and suspension rather than tech geeks but they still invest in safety systems though . BMW offers a display key but Mercedes Benz doesn't yet but that doesn't make Mercedes-Benz a bad trade off against German rival

Thats kind of funny about the tech. My 16 Maybach has all this tech but the movie player is only DVD, no blu ray. Also it has RCA inputs for the video if you had some portable player to attach instead of hdmi......... go figure.

Fair comment on the '16 Maybach, as RCAs have been out of commission for nearly a decade now...

As for the wireless charging, do you see the charging rate as a problem on iPhones only or any other phone that supports wireless charging as well? If it is iPhones only, then there is an explanation for it; it is by design. iPhones are designed to wireless charge at full capacity with the proprietary wireless charger from Apple that Apple is yet to release (sounds like this September). That will double the rate, along with a simple SW upgrade on the phone (and will simultaneously charge other peripherals such as the Apple watch and the new Earbuds that will be released at the same time).

I see the same issue with my iPhoneX, but other phones seem to be responding similarly when compared with their desk wireless chargers (Samsung)... My 2 cents...

I'm willing to bet it's not 2.1 amp.
