The real question is - who wants wireless charging? This is how they achieve that..

I would like it. It's not a super big deal to me, but I'd like it. In my car. As a part of the holder. Otherwise, meh.

In my car I hate dealing with cables.

My 2018 Odyssey minivan has a wireless charging pad option, right where I always keep the phone. Still have to plug it in to use CarPlay though. :(

The Nexus 5 had both wireless charging and a non-glass back, along with plenty of other phones.

And even if they were somehow mutually exclusive, I'd still take a non-fragile back over the ability to wirelessly charge.

I think the key for wireless charging is a not-metal back. Glass or plastic would both work.

I don't think Apple would ever have a plastic back on a premium device. The Nexus 5 back was not "premium", it was a soft touch plastic.
