I have an iPhone with a lightning connector. I use a wireless charger at home and in my car, and AirPods pros. I used to charge with a cable, but I wash my phone regularly under the faucet and then the phone does not like to charge or corrodes the cheap cables if there is liquid remaining in there.

I exclusively wireless charge now, and happily continue keeping my phone clean.

The faucet seems a bit drastic. I got a 1L (about 32oz?) spray bottle of Isopropyl alcohol, and use a small spray amount onto a microfiber cloth to clean iPhone and iPad screens. It’s really cheap and seems to last a long time, as only a small amount is needed.

It will degrade the oleophobic coating of the screens quicker, but I figured that would wear off over time anyway. So far it’s been really effective at wiping off all greasy fingermarks in seconds. I like the window/glass type microfiber cloth for this.
