With the removal of the headphone jack, it looks like we will be getting a better and more convenient replacement in return, and that is wireless charging support. And we've just got some word that wireless charging for the iPhone 8 really might happen, and from a guy actually building iPhones, no less.
Looking to up their game and make some significant changes to the design and performance of the iPhone, Apple will apparently be introducing wireless charging to the upcoming iPhone 8 (which might be called the iPhone X). It is expected to be a premium model that sits above the iPhone 7S Plus.
Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are both water-resistant but not waterproof, which means they can be used in the rain and may survive accidental drops into the water, but aren't built to withstand prolonged periods of exposure.
