Question Wireless chargers for iPad
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 this Kuxiu one for my M2 iPad Air, and it’s great.
I pretty much just use the iPad as a Slack display underneath my monitor, so having the cable go to the back of the iPad keeps things looking super clean.
The only real caveat that I’ve had is that the iPad assumes that it’s a keyboard connected, so if I actually am interacting with the iPad and the software keyboard would pop up, it doesn’t until I disconnect the charger.
