It's nothing new, but, as ever with Apple, it could be about to re-arrive in a sleek and shiny iPhone package: it's wireless charging, and it could be coming in the iPhone 7. Apple's reversible Lightning cable did away with in-the-dark fumbling with chargers, but still meant tethering to the wall. Now, Apple reportedly wants to banish cables altogether by offering longer distance wireless charging. Samsung, Nokia and fellow phone makers have offered wire-free juicing for a good few years, by means of charging mats and pads. A quick zap of power was as easy as putting your handset down for a few minutes. Ever the innovator, though, Apple wants to take things one step further and ditch the idea of docks completely. Little in the way of concrete detail is available at present, but you can be sure that Apple will only put it's name to something skinned in aluminium and up-sold as far as possible. Whether the tech will arrive on September's iPhone 7 isn't clear, but there's mounting evidence that it will be here very soon even if that means an early-2017 model.
Happy-snapping worldly wordsmith. In between snapping street shots, tapping out stellar prose and having more hair-brained ideas than a barber with a bachelor's in business, you'll find him fumbling with the latest fitness fads and dreaming of a debut in F1 (he's a late bloomer, OK?).
