It doesn't. At least, not as far as available information suggests.

Personally, I would also find wireless syncing convenient. This article argues otherwise:
"Why sync wirelessly at ideally 20 Mb/sec and drain the battery using WiFi, when a USB dock sync approaches 400 Mb/sec, and charges the battery? After a more than five times slower WiFi sync, you'd have to dock it to recharge anyway because your battery would be half dead."
While I think this battery drain argument is a little exaggerated, with a sealed-battery device like iPhone any battery intensive task (like running the WiFi radio for a full sync) gets my scrutiny as to whether or not it's really necessary.
