Induction charging of iPhone 8 will be limited to 7,5 watts

Since the first terminals that allowed us to charge the device by induction, misnamed wireless charging, began to reach the market, many users have asked themselves again and again why Apple has not just implemented this technology in their devices, when practically all high-end Android models offer it in addition to the Apple Watch, a device that was introduced 3 years ago. In theory, and according to most rumors, the iPhone 8 will be the company's first iPhone to offer this technology, but according to the Japanese website Macotakara the charge will be limited to 7,5 watts, half of the current Qi standard.

Presumably, Apple will limit the power of its induction charge for some specific reason that we should see in the keynote in which the iPhone 8 is presented. But Apple may also not adopt it because it does not feel like it, it would not be the the first time you do it and it probably won't be the last. A clear example is found in the 4th generation Apple TV, a device that uses HDMI version 1.4 that is perfectly compatible with 4k content, but as we all know, it is not able to reproduce it.

Leaving aside the Solomonic decisions that Apple usually makes, in the same publication we can also see how the charger used must be MFI, so we will not be able to use any charger to recharge our iPhone. When it seemed that we could charge our iPhone anywhere with a charger of this type, Apple again comes to annoy it with their happy MFI certifications that all they do is increase the price of this type of device.

With the increase in screen size of the next iPhone, the battery capacity will also have to be increased. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, if we take the iPhone 7 as a reference, by size, with a capacity of 1960 mAh, the new iPhone 8 could integrate a battery of about 2.700 mAh. At the moment we will have to wait until the day of the presentation, which according to several rumors will be on September 12, to find out about doubts and finally be able to confirm or deny the large number of rumors and leaks related to the next iPhone 8.

    Well, actually all this has a very easy answer, but difficult for you since you clearly lack it: it is called quality.
    Apple cares about the quality of its products, but also about the quality of the accessories that should accompany them; and above all, it cares about the level of quality in the user experience.

    Accessories must meet minimum standards so that the user is never surprised as with low-quality Chinese accessories. And, if even today 4K content is very, very limited, 4 years ago when the fourth generation Apple TV was introduced it really was almost non-existent. Having announced a 4K device without all the content being ready represented a terrible user experience (I can imagine people buying their «4K» device, arriving home, connecting it, and finding almost nothing to see, frustrating, isn't it? do you think?).

    I didn't think I had to make this kind of explanation to someone who is supposed to make a living from it, and yet I still don't expect you to understand it 100%. The only thing that I advise you is that you stay on Windows and Android that are more at your level, but above all I advise you to stop writing and continue to stain a blog of this prestige.

      In the first place you should inform yourself before criticizing without knowledge, something of which you accuse me. If using a slower induction charging protocol is synonymous with quality, God come and see.
      Another example of talking if knowledge is on the release date of the 4th generation Apple TV? 4 years ago? So what did they present in September 2015? The 4,5 generation Apple TV?
      Two years ago content in 4K was already beginning to be available, and today the range is much wider. During all that time and the time it takes to go on sale on the 5th generation Apple TV and for people who intend to renew the previous model, Apple has not allowed them to enjoy this content.
      Before criticizing you have to know. If you don't like my opinions or what I write, you know what you have to do. Don't read me.

        The truth is, you are right.
        Because I was thinking of writing "4K" I ended up writing "4 years" instead of "2". Anyway.
        But the worst thing was to keep reading the article to realize an incredible hatred towards the written subject, towards your own craft, and even towards the products themselves.

        Fast charging will always end the life of the batteries sooner. It is not "quality" that the battery charges quickly for just a while, and after a couple of years it stops working properly. Apple products are used for many years. The buyer has it for one or two years, then the mother inherits it, then the grandmother, and then some little nephew to hold it as a toy. Either they are sold and continue to be used.
        As 90% of androids are totally disposable, it is a good plan to win customers with inflated data and thus convince fools and people without resources. Because it is easy to observe that anyone who ever wanted an iPhone, but never got the money, ends up buying any Chinese copy phone, to later assert that it is better than the bitten apple; even though inside he knows he's only comforting his frustration.

        Seriously, if you hate him so much, stop doing articles about the brand and its products.
        Have you ever thought that many of us DO like the brand (and its products)? What if we enter these blogs is to learn tips, follow tutorials, and find out some other news about the brand? And what is a terrible experience to read your articles full of hate? That is NOT what those who like the brand look for.
        I invite you to think better of it and write better about something else that you really do like. There must be some other topic and / or other job that you do not have the courage to do, and that you do with pleasure.

        On the other hand, I think that everyone knows that this brand has never been cheap, and NEVER will be.
        A vacation to Dubai, or a luxury car (or any other luxury item that comes to mind) does NOT cost for what its items are worth, but for the status they provide to the purchaser. In the realm of computational electronics, Apple has the same status. Therefore their products are not for the starving.
        If a person is as limited in money as your friend *** who flatly cries for a difference of € 100 (or whatever amount), then it would be better to buy an oriental trinket that is at the height of his pocket. And be happy with it.

        BUT THAT DOES, STOP CONTAMINATING OTHERS WITH YOUR COMPLAINTS AND FRUSTRATIONS.
        If you don't like this job, change it, and if they don't have enough for the products, then don't buy them. And period.
