Apple’s next iPhones may come with wireless charging

[NTDaws]

The wireless charging idea does sound good in my eyes. It isn't for sure if they are releasing wireless charging on the iPhones but at the moment it is a 50/50 chance it could come. 

 

Specifications of the iPhones:

All three will receive a new design, with Apple returning to a glass front and back for the phones. Two models are expected to succeed the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, maintaining the models’ 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch LCD displays. And the third model will be a higher end device, with a 5.8-inch curved OLED display

 

Bloomberg reported last year that Apple is working on “cutting-edge” wireless charging tech that may be able to power devices at a distance, so there’s some possibility Apple is looking to do more.

Just as long as it doesn't cause itself or anything nearby to explode.

welcome to 2012

So does this mean it won't have a lightning port?  We all joked about this being the next step but I guess the day has come

next step: remove power, volume and home button

and the final step: remove screen

REVOLUTION at it's finest

I doubt the wireless charging capability has well has removing the lightning port, it's a financial non-sense. Apple make so much money with lightning cable and stuff around. And wireless charge is proprietary too, and I don't think that Apple is going to pay someone else to do that.

In 2020: Introducing the iPhone 10. We decided that to go all out on the minimalistic design that we removed every component of the phone. Now it's just nothing. We'll be selling this revolutionary new iPhone for only $999. We've decided that no components are needed anymore and all you need is the satisfaction that you gave Apple money for the new iPhone.

Bluetooth headphones are the worst headphones ever problems short battery life, Bluetooth disconnect, bad amps and sound quality.

Don't buy cheap garbage? My X2s, Freedoms last about 8 hours/charge and I've never had a disconnect issue. They don't sound as good as my SE215s, but the convenience of bluetooth is worth FAR more than the marginally better sound quality on the SE215s. Even my $50 Go2s last about 4 hours/charge and also never had a disconnect issue.

When are they actually going to remove the actual phone part of the iPhone. I mean, who makes calls anymore am I right? Nah you don't need to call 911. Just send a voice message via WhatsApp to dispatch.

So you're saying they connect to good amps?  

[Belgarathian]

Sheeple reporting for duty... 

[Curious Pineapple]

My Note 2 has wireless charging. I used it once, was pointless.

[Dackzy]

So if I want a iPhone 8 (I am guessing that they wont remove the port on the 7s),  then I need to use blueshit headphones, because it has zero ports... No thank you,

 

Also Apple welcome to 2012.

just remember that Bluetooth headphones have their own amps so the battery has to have a balance between powering the amp and having a long battery life.

There we go, adding punctuation is important

And I still wonder how it will costs more with features being removed

on a phone

at work

typing fast 

not important as getting the idea across  

[vanished]

OK but I'm actually wondering since the OP left out this important detail... will it still have a lightning port as well or not? I can totally see them dropping it.

" Bluetooth disconnect to bad amps "

That translates to Bluetooth not using bad amps

There was a thread from a couple days ago or something about Apple supposedly moving to what they're calling "UAC".

the audience doesn't really care about features long as they get the new i phone. the brand sells lot more than capabilities.

God I hope so. I would fucking hate to only have wireless charging.
