Is there a reason why Apple have never offered induction charging? Isn't that the best way to charge a phone? We completely avoid the wearing out of the port itself, potentially avoiding repairs and extending its lifetime if spare USB charging boards are no longer available. I'm wondering why every single phone hasn't it.

- jandrese 3y agoYou mean wireless charging? My iPhone 11 does it, and I'm pretty sure all of the subsequent ones do as well. Maybe not on the SE. I think the 10 might have even supported it.

- kokanee 3y agoiPhone 8 and later support inductive charging. But it's not perfect - my wife's phone was melted by a third-party inductive charging pad that was intended for use with iPhones.

- liendolucas 3y agoOh my mistake, yes indeed. Must be that I've never seen a wireless charging iPhone...
- JKCalhoun 3y agoEveryone in my family have iPhones with inductive charging.
- haraldooo 3y agoWhat do you mean? iPhones support „magsafe 2“ since 2017 (?) and Qhi-Charging since forever. And no, there is no „general best“ - you at least have to deal with the energy that is lost through induction.
- deergomoo 3y agoAside from the fact that they do as you’ve already seen, inductive charging is slower and far less efficient than via a cable.
