Nice to see they are supporting the open standard.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Wireless charging 😭 son of a bitch, I'm totally upgrading in the spring

 

[Hidden One]

Apple Invents Wireless charging in 2017

 

[Vyer]

using qi, that's good

 

[Sness]

Chance that the iphone X wont have a port at all?

 

[Revoh]

This is so lame

 

[Kurdel]

Awesome that they partnered with Qi

 

[AHA-Lambda]

so wireless charging has been around for ages now but when Apple does it then tons of companies jump on?

 

[unrealist]

Wireless charging reinvented .. using Qi .. so what is reinvented??

The price might be way higher than competitors?

 

[LiK]

Wireless charging. Finally.

 

[border]

I don't know if I've ever seen a wireless charger in a public space before. I still don't understand the point of this technology.

 

[commish]

I've been away. What has been announced so far?

If only there were blogs that have such information

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Qi charging is the most important feature for me personally.

 

[Tom Nook]

Companies to use this tech

Micky Ds!!

 

[Sir Doom]

Well took your bloody time with wireless charging

Gotta think of marketing slang first Qi BS

 

[ZeroX03]

Wireless charger not gonna be included in the box hahaha. But it's third party so that'll lower the price.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I have wireless charging through a case on my current iPhone. It's pretty nice, but not really a major game changer. I'll get excited when there is true wireless charging without a pad.

 

[kaskade]

So this is good right, you can just buy existing Qi chargers? I was expecting Apple to release their own proprietary one for $99 bucks or something

 

[Mammoth Jones]

thank god it’s qi

This is what impresses me the most. I really respect that it's not some new god damned standard.

 

[Pseudo_Sam]

Why are y'all so damn cynical. Apple never said they "invented" any of this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Despite being late to the party getting Apple in to push it so that you have chargers every fuckin where is good for everyone.

 

[kiguel182]

legit surprised it's not proprietary

Apple uses a lot of open standards and open source stuff.

Why are y'all so damn cynical. Apple never said they "invented" any of this.

They never do but people like to shit on them all the same. Every company does the same.

 

[| Praxis |]

Does wireless charging work with a case?

It does.

 

[Raw64life]

They finally invented wireless charging.

 

[jwk94]

Man, I still can't get into wireless charging. It's cool, but I'd rather have the freedom to use my phone while charging.

 

[Judge Magister Zexion]

I'm actually Shocked they are using a standard instead of making some proprietary shit.

 

[kharma45]

Good thing now that this will mean Qi will be everywhere

 

[dc89]

At least they partnered with the right company and they're not doing their own thing.

64GB & 256GB
$699 starting and $799 for the 8 & 8 Plus

 

[Everlya_Apocryha]

I've been away. What has been announced so far?

Bloodborne 2

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Chance that the iphone X wont have a port at all?

zero?

 

[eddie4]

legit surprised it's not proprietary

this.. i was like, wow... 3rd party, gtfo

 

[Twookie]

where is my bezelless phone, apple

 

[Fuchsdh]

Only supports one standard?

...You don't really get standards if you support more than one

 

[a916]

Wireless charging doesn't seem that great to me, imo. But, the fact they might add it to cars or at airports or cafe's seems really interesting. I haven't seen that before. Must've missed it. I'd rather have quick charging tbh.

When one of the more popular phones get's it... it's a big deal because of this. It'll maybe, hopefully, push people to have wireless charging station.

 

[longdi]

Apple invented wireless charging

How fucking late are they to this?

Soon they will dump Qi like they did with Arm.

Yep prepare for Apple wireless charging.

 

[entremet]

He's rushing.

X incoming.

 

[Chittagong]

Apple invents wireless charging

 

[Quonny]

40 minutes for the X.

l e t s g o

 

[MisterR]

This should have been the 7s.

 

[VeeP]

YES 64 GB. But $699? Was it always priced that high?

 

[Primus]

RIP 128GB model.

 

[The Albatross]

I don't know if I've ever seen a wireless charger in a public space before. I still don't understand the point of this technology.

There's a table at my starbucks that has wireless charging pad on it, but it's also the handicapped table and so I've never sat there.

 

[The Real Abed]

Glad to see it’s an open standard so we can start seeing stations in public places.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

LMAO raised the price of the base iPhone. Courageous

 

[chadskin]

64GB! Praise the lord.

 

[jstripes]

No cheers a the price, LOL.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Chance that the iphone X wont have a port at all?

No buttons either, to get you even closer and more immersed in the experience...

 

[Nevasleep]

Props to using a standard open protocol.

Ya, hopefully we'll see these charging pads in hotel bedside tables, and coffee shops etc

 

[TCRS]

cheap chargers is all I keep hearing

 

[serenewarfare]

Wireless charger not gonna be included in the box hahaha. But it's third party so that'll lower the price.

Rumor is that Apple's Wireless Charging solution is not ready yet. So they are pushing third-party stuff.
