An increasing number of devices are shedding their cords, becoming more portable and more convenient to use, like the should-be-here-any-minute-now Apple AirPods and other hearables and headphones.

Wireless charging has been around for quite a few years, but is still mostly a novelty. It is not supported by all new devices, and the availability of public charging surfaces is limited to a handful of locations, like a few select coffee shops.
