iPhone 8 Report :Apple’s Own Research
There is a lot of talk about the look of the so-called ‘iPhone 8’. Much like the radically redesigned Galaxy S8, Apple AAPL +0.07%’s 2017
Apple’s Own Research
Dubbing its report ‘Game Over’, Copperfield says Apple has filed more than a dozen patents for inductive charging since 2013. These all use magnetic coils and require contact with the charger, just like rival standards by the Wireless Power
Apple’s Recent Partnership
Building on this Copperfield says Apple’s partnership with Lite-On Semiconductor for wireless charging bridge rectifiers again shows the company’s interest is in inductive charging
The ‘All Glass’ iPhone 8
Lastly leak after leak has pointed to Apple replacing the aluminium chassis of recent iPhones with ‘all glass’ for the iPhone 8.
The Bottom Line
So was the Energous CEO making it up? Not necessarily. Copperfield concludes that Apple probably did have a partnership with Energous and may still do as a convenient way to research RF charging. But every action Apple has taken in recent years shows there’s no chance of it coming to the iPhone 8.
