The company would rather improve it than give it to you in its current state.

"Apple’s entry into the Qi wireless charging standard with the iPhone 8 marked the widespread popularity of the feature. Since then, many phone makers have brought wireless charging on their flagship smartphones including Samsung, Huawei, LG, Xiaomi, and Razer – just to name a few."

Uhhh, last time I checked, the Galaxy S6 and LG phones already have wireless charging even before iPhones had one.

      and they gonna charge the people as it has wireless charging!!

        Xiaomi has a phone with 20W wireless charging. That's as fast (at least on paper) to the DASH CHARGE bricks OnePlus has been using for three years.

              Don't understand why wireless charging is important for some people. It's even worse for the battery and is usually slower than wired charging, it doesn't take that long to plug a cable into a phone either so wireless charging is completely pointless

                  well, wireless charging is good but it isn't very fast, but i think it's time to add new features to this phone, or a huge improvement for current ones
