Is Apple implementing wireless charging in iPhone 8 ?
Let's Find out!Apple is working on long-range wireless charging
technology that rumors suggest could be implemented in iPhones as soon as 2017, making it an ideal
addition to the iPhone 8.Long-range wireless charging is superior to
many existing wireless charging methods because it does not require devices to be as close
to a charging source or mat.There are some obstacles to overcome before
such technology can be implemented, such as the loss of power transfer efficiency that
occurs when the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is increased.This causes batteries further away from a
charging source to charge more slowly.Apple has been hiring engineers with expertise
in wireless charging in recent months, suggesting a wireless charging feature could indeed be
in the works.With Apple planning to eliminate the headphone
jack in the 2016 iPhone 7, leaving the Lightning port to serve multiple functions, wireless
charging is a logical next step for the 2017 iPhone.Apple is rumored to be seeking a supplier
for wireless charging chips, and the rumor suggests the wireless charging functionality
could potentially be enabled through the use of a case or other iPhone accessory rather
than built into the iPhone itself.Apple manufacturing partner Foxcon is said
to be testing wireless charging modules that are intended for the 2017 iPhone.Whether the modules will make it into future
iPhones depends on whether Foxconn can boostthe yield rate to a satisfactory level.There are also rumors suggesting Apple could
be working with a partner, possibly Energous,a company that's developed a long-range wireless
charging solution called WattUp.We will undoubtedly hear more on Apple's wireless
charging plans in the months leading up to the release of the iPhone 8, giving us a clearer
picture of how it will be implemented.
