Sketchy Rumor Suggests iPhone 7 Will Feature Faster Charging Speeds

Samsung already has this. They use Qualcomm's Rapid Charging tech.
Charge' and you will be charged accordingly.
Nope. Completely true. You're correct on the fact that the phone draws power instead of receiving whatever the charger decides to push. But the iPhone is capable of drawing more than 1A if you use a larger power adapter.
Source: I am currently charging my iPhone 6S+ at 5V, 1.6A with an iPad adapter.
You stop spreading misinformation. iPhone 6: http://imgur.com/a/KEr6E
Your post has been completely disproved.
I thought this was the case for a while as well. The 12w charger does in fact seem to charge the iPhone slightly quicker. The iPhone draws what it needs, and the on board controller dictates exactly how much power it needs, and when. As mentioned above though, it can pull more amperage if a higher watt adapter is plugged in, like the iPad 12w charger for example.
actually, the point is very clear. Even tho plugging the cable in is a very simple thing to do, it's still annoying. With a wireless charging pad, everytime you set your phone down, it's charged. So your phone is almost always full. Wireless everything is the future.
Would be good if true.
However, the Tim Cook way of doing things would be to have the iPhone ship with the 5W charger, and you would buy the quicker charger as an option. Sort of like the nickel and diming that goes on with the big iPad Pro (proper charger for it costs extra).

Ok, this is bugging me:
5V @ 2A is 10W, that isn't more than the 12W iPad adapter can provide.
Why are people complaining about a bigger battery? Leaks point to it being 17% larger and along with A10 efficiency that's a lot. Stop complaining.
Hopefully Apple actually implement quick charging, not just quicker-than-before-but-slower-than-everyone-else charging.

Faster charging will always be nice to have, not that I need it per se though. I'm able to go all day on a single charge and only charge my iDevices at night when I go to sleep. But, for those that use their more and need to recharge during their day, being able to charge more quickly would be a bonus, regardless of how sketchy the rumor.
I know it's still bugging me but I'm just hoping they were referring to the possibility of it reaching speeds above that. It also could be about the hardware support.
This would be lovely. Would make it a sure thing that when I upgrade to the 2017 revision I willget this feature. 
I don't think you're thinking big enough! If Apple does wireless charging they need to implement true wireless charging not the "gimmicks" (my word) we've seen so far. Google Energous. That's real wireless charging.
When I walk into my house my phone should connect to my power 'router' automatically and start charging. Think of how coffee shops, etc. could have similar free wireless 'routers'. It could be as common as wifi is today!
