This is the biggest evidence yet that the next iPhone will finally have wireless charging.

Apple has joined the Wireless Power Consortium, an industry group that develops and oversees the Qi wireless charging standard. Qi wireless charging is already being used by multiple manufacturers for years now on their mobile devices.

The iPhone 8 or the 10th anniversary iPhone is still months away and let’s see where this association is heading.
