Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

Qi2 standard really helps with that. It incorporates the magnetic alignment and higher speeds from Apple’s MagSafe. Magnetic alignment makes wireless charging much better. Still less efficient than wired charging, but much more efficient than Qi without magnetic alignment.
If your phone doesn’t have the magnetic ring baked in you can often find cases that provide it, or magnets you can add to the outside of a case. Though my phone does have the magnets baked in, I also have a Snap 4 Luxe and I 3D printed a case that fits around it, to minimize the distance between charger and phone. Works really well!
