Yes according to some experts and I am inclined to believe them. However I doubt the difference is drastic unless there are other factors going on. And I recommend keeping both charging cables and wireless chargers at home for backup.
See, a wireless charger saved my old iPhone 8 Plus.
Basically the battery of 8 Plus (was always charged through a cable and still had its original battery at 82% at 6 yo) drained overnight and for some reason cables just couldn’t charge the battery no matter what. Apple refused to replace the battery saying the battery was not the problem but the port or the circuit was.
As a last ditch effort I bought an inexpensive generic Qi charger to charge the 8 plus wirelessly for the first time and guess what? The phone was brought back to live within one hour.
After it was brought back, it showed battery health still at 82% but with a message to have the battery serviced. And interestingly now the cable charging would work too. Went back to Apple and this time they had choice but to replace the battery for me and now the iPhone 8 Plus is living a great second life, snappy as ever. 😁
So I say, charge your phones however you want but having multiple charging methods available is a good thing.
