For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    I am sure it’s because phone companies don’t want to deal with designing, manufacturing, design defects, warranty claims if it fails, etc.

    I do wonder if it can’t be done better with programmable magnets, locking one of those in place from the bottom of the device might be interesting.
