I feel like I'm living in a bizzare-o-world here or something with this whole wireless charging thing.
I had wireless charging in my Nexus 5 almost 6 years ago. Even back then, I bought a cheap wireless charger off of amazon for like $20, and thought it was a relatively interesting novelty. 6 years is an absolute eternity in tech, but for some reason this is being touted as some new innovative tech.
I honestly thought when apple was announcing "wireless charging" that they meant something like your entire house would be a charger while you inside of it.
Basically: no wifi, less space than a nomad. Lame. Seriously though, wireless charging even being mentioned in the marketing as though it matters seems on par with a laptop advertising that it also has WiFi. No kidding it should have wireless charging; it's 2019!

- pwinnski 8y agoThe point wasn't wireless charging. They've supported Qi charging for a while. The point was wirelessly charging several devices simultaneously with no need to consider the orientation the devices being charged. That's what turns out to be so hard to deliver well that they're giving up. And no, nobody else is doing it either. Yet.
