Long-running rumors that Apple will add wireless charging to the iPhone 8\u00a0have been\u00a0lent additional weight with the news\u00a0that the company has joined an industry group devoted to wireless power.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While early rumors suggested that Apple was holding out for long-range charging, without the need to place the iPhone on a charging pad, those hopes appear to have been dashed by more recent reports. These suggest that Apple will, like other manufacturers, use simple inductive charging.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I get the hold-out for long-range charging. It’d\u00a0be cool and if Apple did it first would be a tent-pole feature they could bark on about for years but they’re seriously lagging here doing nothing but playing catch-up.<\/p>\n
