I hope that the iPhone 8 will be better than all the disappointments we had this year, and that Apple will not find excuses to lift the prices up again.
There's good and bad to that. We don't want to be charging our phones all the time. Batteries only last so many cycles. If you're charging a lot when the phone doesn't need it (say when it's at 80%) then you're using up those cycles when it's not needed and will kill battery life in the long run.
What's needed is a charging routine that only charges when needed or when the battery gets to a certain level. Otherwise you're looking at having to replace your battery yearly or even more frequently.
A charge cycle is a full discharge/recharge cycle, not the number of times you bring it to full capacity. If you discharge it 10%, 10 times and recharge it each time, that's 1 cycle.There's good and bad to that. We don't want to be charging our phones all the time. Batteries only last so many cycles.

They'll add wireless charging and no more lightning port then.
And let me guess, only for the OLED 8 Plus?
I'm not betting on this one coming to fruition.
So iPhone8 won't accept any wired headphones then?They'll add wireless charging and no more lightning port then.
"Its how much ....? "

Why?Apple cannot wait with this release till next year September.
This must be released by spring time. If it wants to satisfy people and investors.
Do it... do it...

Could be a simple iOS 11 implementation. Kinda like the sleep cycle thing in iOS 10There's good and bad to that. We don't want to be charging our phones all the time.

TicK tock. Waiting for my new iPhone. My 6s will be fine until then.
How is being able to charge from a foot or two away any better than having a charging mat? If the phone can be charged from anywhere in a typical room then your argument would hold weight. If you have to be 12-24 inches from a charging base, you're no better off than putting the phone on a charging mat. A two foot charge radius would be, ironically, just as useless.Well if you can charge from a foot or two away, it's no longer useless.
Why not let customers set the charge parameters? Automatically charge if phone goes below X. If you know you're going out, gaming, or doing something intensive, toggle to manual setting if needed. That doesn't seem like a complicated scenario.There's no real way to do that though- if you use the phone, the battery discharges, and you're going to recharge it so you can use it some more. Having the phone on the charger when it's full isn't really considered an issue, no one is suggesting you wake up in the middle of the night to unplug your phone once it's full.
If the phone is full, its circuitry prevents overcharging, even allowing a slight discharge. So for the sake of argument lets say it goes from 100 to 99, 100 to 99, ten times in an hour. And for the sake of argument let's say that uses 1/10th of a charge cycle. Now what happens if it "smartly" just decides not to charge the phone until it goes to 90%. Isn't that the same 1/10th of a charge cycle to reach 100%?
