As we get closer to Apple's new iPhone 8 launch event in September, the rumors come and go. One of the rumors that has been "heard" since February is that the next generation of the iPhone will have wireless charging.
Today, the TNW was able to confirm (with two independent sources) that Apple is actually planning to add a wireless charge to iPhone 8. Speaking of sources familiar with the subject, Allen Fung, GM of a RAVPower mobile accessories manufacturer, said:
“The next iPhones will have the special technology for wireless charging that we have in our charger. Our wireless charger will wirelessly charge the next iPhones to full speed, as well as other mobile devices. ”
Note that TNW is not known for information leaks about its devices Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.

Ενώ οι φήμες νωρίτερα φέτος πρότειναν μια πιο συναρπαστική λύση (που περιλάμβανε τη φόρτιση με το Energous από μεγάλη απόσταση που θα επέτρεπε τη φόρτιση μιας συσκευής μέσα σε ένα δωμάτιο) μάλλον οι φίλοι της συσκευής θα πρεπει να συμβιβαστούν με το dock φόρτισης. Το πρωτόκολλο Qi ή Airfuel (η λύση ασύρματης φόρτισης που απαιτεί από τη συσκευή να διατηρεί επαφή με μια βάση φόρτισης) φαίνεται ότι θα προστεθεί και στο iPhone. Το Apple Watch uses already the Qi protocol, albeit slightly modified so that it does not work with official Qi chargers. (How will Apple do if it works with "foreign" chargers?)
We can not confirm whether Apple will again use the Qi protocol or a modified version of it.

Let's mention that as Apple seems to be anxious to present something "new" that will help it prevail in the market, it seems to be discounting the term "innovation." No it's not innovative a dock charger but I'm sure it will be one of the main promotional features in marketing of the upcoming device.
I'm sure that along with Apple, there will be millions of fun boys who will also make discounts on the term "innovation" and will wait in line to buy an expensive device to get even a little wireless charging…
On the other hand connection with a charging dock (albeit without cables) it's certainly not the sexiest solution, but it's a start.
