      There are Many Chinese phones that had Wireless charging before apple Google It

      Also Apple Is not a Trendsetter Maybe to Isheep they are But not the Industry as a Whole

        Merwyn Fernandes, 22 Sep 2017Wasn't all the Features You Mentioned Present 1-2 Years B4 ... moreThere are differences on being the first and being the trend-setter. Palm was the first who introduce an accessory for wireless charging on 2009. Nokia was the first who implanted the wireless charging directly to the phone (Lumia 820 & 920) on 2012, followed by Samsung on their S4's accessory on 2013, and Google+Asus on their Nexus 7 on 2014. Even after those devices, none of these Chinese OEMs' phones following (including Xiaomi). Only after Apple announcing that their new phones support wireless charging, Xiaomi joining Qi consortium (and indicated/rumored that their next flagship will support Qi).

        Btw, Xiaomi did copying Apple. Not only their MIUI interface is exactly iOS look-a-like, most of their current line-ups are largely similar to iPhone 6's design (including the camera bump which they mock in the past... I'm talking to you, Mi 5X/Mi A1). Luckily, Mi 6 design has different feel thanks to it's trim. So it's not surprising that Xiaomi will do whatever Apple do. Whether Apple being the first or not.

          So Why don't you say that Xiaomi Follows Samsung or LG or HTC or Huawei Etc Etc Why only Apple

          FYKI Xiaomi devices Don't Even look like Apple Iphones Anymore.
          Apple Devices are outdated even by Xiaomi's Standards

                    Why do ppl like this thing?

                    1 - impossible to use while charging, depending on what you wanna do
                    2 - it is worse for battery compared to via usb

                    3 - phone cant be metal back

                      I don't Get your philosophical essay of pace and what ever other crap you wrote Which didn't make Any sense to my initial Comment

                      The Way You Put Your Sentence's Made it look like You were biased towards Apple

                      Also I guess you are the one who is trolling here as you didn't even understand my first comment

                      Also when you try to teach others grammar you may as well look at what you have written there are quite a lot of spelling Mistakes All you have done is added punctuations which is the way you like and My commenting style is different

My quoted comment by you btw proved the difference between having an adult discussion and some of what you are trying to do (troll). How in the world saying Apple moving on their own pace because they own their platform proved my bias? How do you get that? Do they not own their platform? Are their using android as the platform to ship their devices? The answer to those are no, which means my conclusion were right.

                        You on the other hand, can't write a sentence to save your life, and when you finally do, can't contain your biases. That is the difference btw between my posts and yours.

                          ***[None, Apple moves on their own time and agenda. That is the luxury they have when you have control of your own platform. It's the reason they can sell the same design hardware for more than 3 years with no slowdown in sales. Others, I am afraid do not have that luxury and that is the difference between Apple and everyone else. That pisses off their competitors and hardcore android fans alike. Apple right now is simply playing their own game, and as long as the current mobile industry remains like this, they are not going anywhere.]****

                          Read this Comment any one who reads this with a sane mind will know your bias towards apple

                          I'll simplify your comment you say that there is no completion to apple Full Stop But the fact of Matter I'd apple cant keep Pace with Android OEMs

                          And I don't get why Android fans will be pissed off When your iPhone is 2-3 generations behind Android phones

                          And Apple Milks you For Every Dollar

                            So qualcomm has techonology that can enable wireless charging on metal phones then why doesnt anyone implement it and btw wireless charging is just a gimick until you can lift your phone of the pad

And then, be the first to pay royalties and load them on their customers increasing the price with the excuse of being a premium or luxury product.

Where in my post do you see I said anything about them introducing wireless charging first? This is the problem on forums, some of you just can't have a productive conversation before your biases kicked in and take it personally. Inductive charging was not invented by any android oem's, it's a standard anyone can add to their devices at anytime. My answer was to simply point out that because Apple have their own platform, and because they control it, they can move at their leisure (which is true btw). No where did I say they invented or introduced anything first, grow up.

                                        I am a fan of tech, not a fanatic like a lot of you. Which is the reasons some on here are quick to take industry standards as android inventions. Things such as oled, lte, nfc etc. Those were not invented by any android oem's btw, so stop it with those bs.
