Nope! You won’t need wires or messy cables to connect the power pod to your phone. It's one of the reasons these chargers are so great. They're entirely wireless and compact in their design, so you can easily take them anywhere. They'll fit right into your pocket or bag, ready for you to whip out whenever you need them. If you're asking whether you need one to charge the pod itself, that depends on what you already own! You can charge the pods wirelessly via MagSafe devices, but any USB-C cable will work if you don't have the applicable charger. Don't worry; you have options!
