You definitely don’t need it if you already have a lightning charger. It’s not actually wireless, slower than using a lightning cable, and expensive for what it is. People are drawn to shiny objects but this charger is not a good buy.
I canceled my order for the MagSafe Charger and case after watching the reviews. I came to the same conclusion as you. Also the cord is short and connected to the MagSafe so if the cord breaks or frays, you have to buy the whole charger again.

AppleCare will cover the MagSafe cable, whether to the one year limited warranty on the charger itself or AC+ on the phone.

But I do agree the cable is too short.
 
That’s the same boat I am in. I wouldn’t mind a flashy new toy, but the standard wireless charger near my bedside charges it full overnight, so I wouldn’t benefit from the speed at all. But it does look cool....
Got one at my desk and one in the kitchen; fast charging there is ideal.

Nice I am only an hour from Louisville.

I’m 3 hours north but last year my phone went from Louisville to Plainfield then to my CC during the night on Thursday and I picked it up at 7am on Friday. I didn’t get a scan from anywhere between China and Louisville.
 
Anyone with launch day delivery still have no shipping notification and just a “preparing to ship” status?
Read at least some of the thread that’s the most common question that’s been answered on at least almost every page that has been created today.

Dang I wish my CC opened at 7 doesn’t open until 9:30

Yep, mine still says “preparing to ship”. It likely will not change until late this evening or early tomorrow, for everyone. My advice is to kick back, pour yourself a stiff drink, and doze off while counting iPhones jumping over sheep. 😬

I need to pay my Apple Card down a little bit, LOL. I already have a MacBook and would have a hard time justifying getting the Air... help me justify it, @Theyayarealivin :oops:
@ksujoel, I use my iPad Pro to read and surf the net while n bed. I sometime use it to watch some YouTube content every now and then. I also have a 💻 Pro and to do those things I mentioned, have and iPad is more convenient.
