This one applies to the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus as well as the iPhone 8, but after years of standing on the sidelines, Apple is said to be finally adding wireless charging to its entire line of phones. There is a possible downside, though: rumors suggest that Apple will be using an
older, slower version of the Qi charging specification, and that the company may be restricting charging to charging pads approved through the company’s MFi accessory program (which Apple charges licensing fees for), which could shatter the dream of a single wireless charging method for all your devices.
The recent Golden Master leak seems to confirm wireless charging, but we still don’t know how Apple will be implementing the system.
How likely? Seems to be happening, but we’ll see if Apple decides to play nice with others here.
