looks like apple's next iphone could be the first to include wireless charging rumors have been buzzing about wireless charging on an iphone since before the six came out so obviously we were skeptical but this kind of proof is hard to overlook Apple rumor site 9to5 mac reported that the Cupertino company is now listed as one of the 213 members of the wireless power consortium an association of tech companies and manufacturers promoting the wide market adoption of this method is charging companies listed on their side includes Samsung Electronics welcome LG and as of this week Apple Inc is listed at the top previous rumors about the iphone 8 suggested Apple might skip wireless charging all together until it could incorporate a form of long range wireless charging but this new development suggests they're going with the simple method of inductive charging that Android and Windows devices have been using for over five years in fact Apple already uses it in the Apple watch now don't expect to get a wireless charger as a freebie in the box the report also states that this would be an added accessory that you would have to purchase separately along with all those audio jack adapters and with the iphone 8 reportedly costing over a thousand dollars this year you best start saving your pennies now
