Apple is said to include wireless charging in its upcoming iPhones, according to a note from JPMorgan obtained by CNBC.
It's not a new rumor, but it seems more and more like a good idea, especially considering that the iPhone's main competition from Samsung's Galaxy S8 has wireless charging.
It's not clear exactly which iPhone models could come with wireless charging, whether it's the rumored ultra-premium "special edition" model, the "S" models of the iPhone 7, or both.
If any of Apple's upcoming iPhone models support wireless charging, it'll fix one of the main issues with Apple's recent departure from including the standard 3.5mm headphone jack in its iPhones. Indeed, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus do not have a standard headphone jack, which forces users to use wireless Bluetooth headphones, or use wired headphones with the included headphone adapter that plugs into the iPhone's Lightning port.
The problem is that the iPhone 7 Lightning port serves two purposes, including charging and listening to music with wired headphones, but it can only be used for one purpose at a time (unless you buy a special dongle from a third party). If an iPhone user wants to keep using wired headphones with the headphone adapter, it doesn't allow the user to charge their smartphone at the same time, as the Lightning port would be occupied by the headphone adapter.
The iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack, which forces users who want to used wired headphones to occupy the iPhone's Lightning port, which doesn't allow users to charge their iPhone at the same time.
