The "techies" here may not realize it, but almost every person holds their phone in their hands when they use their phone. Can't do that and wirelessly charge. You guys are trying to dispute his point and trying so hard to ignore the most practical shortcoming of wireless charging that makes it a gimmick.

                          "Pegatron is said to be the sole supplier for the wireless charger for the future iPhones, as Foxconn is busy making sure it can produce the AMOLED iPhone without issues. As always, take this rumor with a hefty dose of salt, especially since we're almost a year away from the unveiling of these handsets."

                          Now that means ONLY... ONLY this Apple charger will wirelessly charge the iPhone, you can bet the other universal chargers won't be able to

                          also metion of removing charging ports aren't these the lightning connector?
                          so no removal
                          wireless charging is optional buying a wIreless charger mandatory

                          Second and this is where he has gotten it wrong...
                          Apples will skip numbers and call it the iphone10 to mark 10 years od selling memory cards that are capable of telephony so NO iPhone7S or iPhone8 staight to iPhone10
                          new shape new colours same presentation

                          Apple will pack a few more features into the iPhone10 so it will sell reveersing the Iphone7 ignomy of being the only iphone not to outsell a predecessor

                          Outside of the Orchard we have seen these new fangled inventions like curved screen / memory expansion / fully functioning Bluetooth and NFC/ removable battery
