Recurring Rumor: Wireless Charging Technology Could Hit iPhones in 2017

As we know, next year will be the 10th anniversary since the first iPhone was revealed to the world. So there is a pretty high expectation that Apple will surprise us by bringing an incredibly innovative device unlike anything we've seen. But in time for FoxconnIt's pretty hard for something not to "get off track" and people end up leaking information or even photos of devices that should be a total surprise.

At the beginning of the year, sources of Fast company suggested that the iPhone 7 would come with a wireless charging technology As with Apple Watch (with inductive contact), however, as we have seen, this did not materialize in the 2016 model. Bloomberg He said that in 2017, we will see an induction contact * wireless * charging technology, meaning the new iPhones are supposed to be recharged when they are within range of an energy field.

Whatever technology you choose, these rumors just got stronger again as the site Nikkei got reports from linked sources Foxconn which suggested that tests with a new wireless charging technology are already being conducted.

Earlier rumors suggested that the technology would come to the handsets that will be released in 2017, but the release date depends on whether Foxconn can achieve a satisfactory throughput by 1. That is, a sufficient number of units must be manufactured, otherwise production may be impaired as it is considered “unprofitable” and then disposed of the final product. The sources still indicate that the modules will be incorporated into the next iPhones, but still uncertain if the function is present in all models.

Both Apple and Foxconn declined to comment on the matter and no less, no? May the innovations come! 😀
