All three new iPhones said to go wireless
The three new iPhones released this year will each have wireless charging, according to a well-regarded analyst with a decent track record on all things Apple.
A research note from Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities obtained by MacRumors makes the claim that 2017’s iPhones — widely believed to be the iPhone 8 , iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus — will all feature wireless charging.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the new charging standard attached to the iPhone 8, but it’s been less clear whether the year’s iterative iPhone upgrades will ditch the cable as well. Now, at least in Kuo’s eyes, that’s what we should expect.
An interesting tidbit Kuo adds about the iPhone 8: Because the device is expected to house an OLED screen and all-glass casing, it could be especially prone to overheating from charging wirelessly. He expects the phone’s 3D Touch module to get an extra layer of lamination so it can still respond to finger presses even as its internal temperature rises.
