Apple recently with the unveiling of its new smartphone series this week, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X.

These guys really mean death for the Android Market

No doubt cable system of charging has long been in existence for a while now, but with the herculean task of carrying about charging cables might just be brought to an abrupt stop with the integration of wireless charging by companies in their newly built smartphones.

Also known as "Qi" - the standardised form of wireless charging has been around for some time being in the tech industry, but maybe Apple might just be the ones to unleash the feature fully with the release of their new smartphone series.

What is wireless charging?

This is possible as power is been transmitted through the electromagnetic field from the charging pad to the device itself, which must have a built-in receiver coil that generates current from the signal.
Big tech Companies such as Samsung and Sony have so far embraced and integrated this tech standard in building phones that work on it - having originally agreed terms with the Wireless Power Consortium back in 2008.

Are the iPhone X and iPhone 8 running the Qi standard?

Despite doubts about its integration, Apple itself has decided to back the Qi standard, meaning the recently released iPhones will work with third-party charging mats from the likes of Belkin and Mophie.

This is possible as the new Apple iPhones are been built with glass backs, which enables electromagnetic transfer thereby making wireless charging in them a reality.

Extra cost for me?

Apple's not going to go cable-free immediately, for now. The iPhone X and iPhone 8 both have a Lightning port on the bottom and a charging cable in the box.
Chances are that you can get one new Boost?Up Wireless Charging Pad from Belkin from their website belkin.com available for purchase from September 15 for a fee £59.99 at and £54.95 at apple.com.

The most expensive iPhone yet?

Somehow, with a starting price of £999 - rising to £1149 for the top-of-the-range 256GB model - the iPhone X is Apple's most expensive iPhone yet and for now let's enjoy the ride.
