Self-labelled neo-Luddites and the tech-stressed are searching for phones with fewer features. Industry experts cite precarious profit margins and a wobbly market around this need.
I van assure you at the very least the part where the coil is situated has no metal backplate. While technically possible to charge wirelessly with a metal back the efficiency of the charging would drop into hell. Unless absolutely not otherwise doable it’s better avoided, not least of all because the back would heat up immensenly when using charging speeds that are remotely useful
From what I understand about phone design, it allows for the smallest possible design that can still do NFC and wireless charging, while keeping that premium feel.
I don’t give a damn about premium feel, I just want a no-nonsense phone that does what it’s fucking supposed to while still being serviceable.
Why would the back of your phone be made of glass? Lol, wtf?
because steve jobs’ ghost wills it
Because if you want wireless charging it’s that or plastic and the latter certainly doesn’t make for a great premium product
I use my phones with a case, so I actually don’t know the difference
What? My phone has a metal back and charges wirelessly just fine, even with a case on it.

So that the manufacturer can charge you to repair it when it breaks
