(SPOT.ph) You probably already have a go-to power bank in your gadget collection—it's considerd a necessity in this day and age, after all—and it's likely you've had the thing for quite some time now. Unlike smartphones or even laptops, portable charging stations are a tech investment that can last quite a long time when properly taken care of and are usualy compatible with a variety of gadgets, doing away with the need to upgrade yours too often. Typically, all you have to do is plug your charger into the device and it'll power up your smartphone, wireless earbuds, gaming console, or what have you no matter where you go. But there's a case to be made for switching to a power bank that supports wireless charging technology. Hear us out.

Though wireless charging has been around for some time now, the technology still seems to be perceived as more of an added bonus than a necessity for many. However, there's a rapidly growing shift in the industry that favors wireless charging over classic wired charging. That means you're likely going to see the technology become more widespread in the next few years; not only will more devices support it, but some may even do away with wired charging altogether—the Apple Watch is a good example.

You may have also noticed that more and more brands are releasing smartphones and other handheld devices without a charging cable in the box. On top of that, many tech companies have updated their charging cable designs in the last few years—newer Android phones have switched from micro-USB to USB-C, for example—rendering older charging cables virtually useless, even obsolete. With all that in mind, it only makes sense to have a power bank that can charge your devices wirelessly. That way, you won't have to worry about constantly purchasing new cables because your portable charging station will be compatible with any device that supports wireless charging technology—and the way things are going, pretty much all handheld devices will be supporting the technology in the next few years. So yes, it might be time to make the switch. Your future self may just thank you.
