iPhone 8 – How Fast is Wireless Charging?

iPhone 8 will have a wireless charging system that is not quite as fast as the world would like, and it may be limited to the mentioned manufacturers.

iPhone 8 it will have a wireless charging system integrated by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and according to some information obtained from partners of those from Cupertino, now we also know how fast it is. More precisely, the sources of today's information regarding the iPhone 8 claim that in reality this wireless charging of the new smartphone will not be done as quickly as the world hopes.

iPhone 8 will allow wireless charging at a maximum of 7.5W using the Qi standard, half of what other Android smartphones can do. iPhone 8 will have integrated a standard wireless charging profile through Qi technology, more precisely 7.5W(tV/1.5A), so all wired charging could be faster this year as well.

iPhone 8 will have a mystery in Apple's decision to implement support for only half of the potential of the Qi standard, but probably everything has to do with how the battery is affected by this charge. The iPhone 8 will have a new type of battery prepared by the Apple company and it is possible that it will not be able to withstand faster charging very well than the one according to these specifications.

The iPhone 8 will also have wireless charging protection, so it's possible that only chargers with an MFI chip will allow this this year. If things will stay this way, then third-party wireless chargers, although compatible with the Qi standard, would not be able to charge the iPhone 8 because they will be blocked by Apple through iOS 11, customers being practically obliged to buy wireless pads from Apple or from certified partners .

iPhone 8 could be a big disappointment if Apple will act like this, but a few weeks ago we told you that Apple could decide to block wireless charging. Nothing was certain then, but based on the information we see now for the iPhone 8, it seems pretty clear that Apple wouldn't want everyone to be able to charge their new phones wirelessly with any kind of charger.

"iPhone 8 has a possibility of 7.5 W specification at maximum. But Apple supports not Extended Power Profile 15 W but Standard Power Profile 7.5W(5V/1.5A), which is half. Similar to Apple Watch that is Qi standard but can charge only by charging equipment where MFi chip is built in, it is possible that the function of wireless charging equipment of iPhone 8 series is subject to MFi license.”

The iPhone 8 would have a wireless charging system similar to the one implemented in the Apple Watch, but this was also rumored for some time. Apple implemented wireless charging in the smart watch for the first time and it was expected to bring the technology including to the iPhone terminals, the iPhone 8 being the first model with it, but not exactly as all the customers from Cupertino would have wanted.

iPhone 8 is to be presented by the Apple company at the beginning of next month, and the launch could take place in the second part of next month.
