Wireless charging works really well on my Samsung phone, when using a Samsung charger and charging pad. Less good when using generic products, but still pretty useful. Placement of phone doesn't seem to make much of a difference to speed of charging, within reason.

Can't really get my head around why Apple would have found it tough to crack.

Because they were trying to do multiple device charging that you could put devices on anywhere rather than one device in a rough area or multi devices in specific places, as I understand it.

Even so, sounds a bit weird. Induction charging has been around for 20 years or more (Oral B toothbrushes for example). Getting things thin enough was the first major hurdle. I know almost nothing about the tech though so I'm probably missing something fundamental.
