Although there are only three hours left for Tim Cook and his team to delight us with their new and long-awaited products, and although the online store on the block is already closed waiting to receive all the news, the rumors and leaks do not stop. And in this regard, popular KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo notes that Apple is not ready to introduce its own wireless charging base for the next iPhones.
The new iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus that will be presented this afternoon are expected to be compatible with inductive wireless charging however, users may be "forced" to purchase third-party accessories to enjoy this new feature, at least if they don't have the patience to wait until Apple has the accessory ready.
Wireless charging without wireless charging dock
Like last year, when Apple presented the AirPods without the device being ready for sale, this time Apple may not have its own wireless charging accessory ready for new iPhones, as assured by the analyst Kuo. This implies that it is not known when the mass production of this Apple accessory will begin, and it is also not known when it will go on sale since Apple could be waiting for certain "technological advances" before starting production.
In the same report, Kuo indicates that Foxconn is already planning a 70-80% increase in production of the new 5,5-inch iPhones with LCD screens, news that is in line with previous rumors that Apple plans to increase production and availability of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, while iPhone X with OLED screen will be especially hard to come by at first.
We are just three hours away from the start of Apple's first Keynote, which will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater located in the new Apple Park (Cupertino, California), where the company will presumably present the new generation of its flagship made up of The iPhone Actualidad Gadget. Do not miss it!
