Apple
The new iPhone 8 and iPhone X will both feature wireless charging, Apple announced on Tuesday.
The new iPhones feature a glass back that enables the "freedom of wireless charging," Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller during a press event at the company's Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California.
The wireless charging technology Apple has added uses a combination of Bluetooth 5.0 and the Qi wireless standard, which is already supported by a number of accessory makers. The standard allows for a device to be charged without cables within 1.6 inches of the charging hub.
Apple expects the wireless charging technology used in its new iPhones to be supported in cafes, restaurants, airports, and cars around the world, Schiller said.
