          Apple seems so outdated with these reports...

            Apple should optimize the iPhone's signal reception (antenna technology) rather than focusing on less important stuff. iPhone 7/7 Plus can't beat Blackberry Z30 in signal reception even though Blackberry Z30 was an old product.

Kappa And yeah, wireless charging has been great all these years I've used it. Turbo Charger on my Nexus 6 (from 2014, still has wireless and fast charging) does charge the phone much faster. But the wireless also is nice to have.

Clearly the benefits of qi are lost you, kid. And guess what? If you prefer - you can still plug in those devices too, because unlike Apple's 3.5mm jack, the port hasn't been removed, it's an additional charging method - not an imposed limit.

                              Coming from an Apple and Android user even I have to admit that Apple took a long time with this. When this phone comes out I have a feeling Apple will make it sound like the wireless charging is the best new invention they came out with.

                                Reading comprehension doesn't come naturally to everyone so I highlighted the part about USING your phone, not charging since the conversation concerns the usability of your device while charging.

                                Good for you that you can charge your phone once a day. You can have a cookie for that.

                                What's the point of newer technology if it limits you from what you could do before. That's the same logic Apple used to justify removing the headphone jack. I guess you were one of their main supporters in that move. When wireless charging allows you to charge your device several feet away from the charger, let's talk. That's moving forward.

                                        So many iHaters & Fandroid forgetting that Android is also behind Apple in a few things as well & have had their own version of an Apple idea a few month or years later such as an app store & a way of using your phone to pay for things like a credit or debit card.
