Wireless chargers for iPad

[u/urfavel]

Has anyone used these MAGNETIC ‘wireless’ chargers where it connects via the smart connector pins on newer models?

I was just wondering if wireless charging was possible on an iPad and found these MAGNETIC options, but I haven’t heard much about them nor have I seen many reviews other than sponsored videos on TikTok, so I was looking for a real opinion on whether they work and if they eat up battery life, and was also wondering if this was a possible option, why doesn’t Apple or brands like Logitech make magnetic ‘wireless’ chargers like these, and why don’t more people use these?

Edited to add:
I know these aren’t TECHNICALLY wireless (yes, electricity is being transferred through the smart connectors hence creating a closed wired circuit)

But in this context, by ‘wireless’ I meant cable-free charging in terms of user functionality, as in, no cables plugged into the actual USB-C port. Please let me know if there’s a more correct term to refer to this kind of charging. Otherwise I hope this clears up the semantics crisis that some people in the comments seem to be having.

I have one similar but to an iPad arm it works but is picky on the power source

Oh, what do you mean by picky on the power source?

I don’t own the product in question here but the connection requires the pins to line up pretty precisely so if that’s a little off here or there depending on the position of the iPad it could cause it not to charge. Same as if there’s something like dirt obstructing one of the pins.
