It’s not 100% accurate but
If Apple did that, it would burn anyone who used their phone without a case.
I agree. And I also think Apple should formally write a disclaimer that talks about how wireless charging degrades the battery faster compared to a wired connection.
Please bring back the thumbs down.

thank you!
Sounds more like Apple wants to make sure the battery isn’t affected for reasons unknown to you at this time.
A conspiracist planned obsolescence view is Apple is drumming up sales.
However, it’s obvious Apple has done its homework.
Except, always the except, wireless charging generates more heat, heat shortens the battery life, AIW?
Honestly, it took 3 minutes of Google. There's vendors even warning not to implement it using the out-of-spec method because they already knew about the interference issue and expected Apple would be disabling it.

This should be /THREAD, but watch how long this goes on with people making unfounded claims about Apple doing “insert anti-consumer BS here”.
Google's main business is ads so people expect google to show ads, no conspiracy theories needed. Apple's main business is selling hardware and services, no conspiracy theories needed to explain/understand that apple will do anything to sell their hardware and accessories.
They’re probably doing it to avoid damaging phones with some chargers. I noticed that my charging pad was getting my phone quite hot before I updated. I don’t really care about how fast my charging pad charges when it’s by my bedside and I’m asleep, but I’d rather my phone not burst into flames at 3am.
There is no proof a cheap unauthorized charger can make an iPhone burst into flames. When a "usb killer" can't make an iPhone burst into flames, it is highly unlikely a cheap charger can.
Actually what you wanted to say is apples main business is screwing the customers. That’s why they will do ANYTHING to get that sale. Right?
Find your own links. I would agree if Apple scaled unknown knockoff brands down and even limited others completely.
I'm obviously right, because they do it.
From the agvee article: "It can effectively avoid the frequency band that interferes with the mobile phone, so that the wireless charging can minimize the interference to the mobile phone"
Note that if it causes interference it's not FCC class B compliant, which means that it's not supposed to be offered for sale in the US. Has anyone actually looked up and verified that the variable frequency chargers are FCC-licensed? That would be amusing.

I just got an iPhone 11 Pro and was having problems with my wireless chargers (BMW wireless charging, a couple various third-party chargers) under iOS13.0 compared to my iPhone XS. I figured it was due to the iPhone 11 Pro having a problem. Then I tried an Apple Silicone case and wireless charging broke altogether. I was quite upset.
But just now I got the iOS 13.1 update pushed to my iPhone. And, surprise, my wireless chargers seem to work again like they did with my iPhone XS before. And that's with the Silicone case on the 11P. There must be wireless charging bugs in the original iOS 13 with the iPhone 11 Pro that were fixed with the iOS upgrade.

Not necessarily. FCC Part 15 Class B defines limits that make sure you don't interfere with your neighbor's stuff, particularly their TV and AM/FM reception. Here we're talking about a source and a receiver that's literally millimeters apart. There's no regulation that's as strict as that.

I bought one of the Samsung stand up wireless chargers which has a fan built in to dissipate the heat. Cost $80 at Best Buy.
It also says on the box that it's certified to work with Apple's 7.5w. i still haven't unboxed it yet, but I've used Samsung charging pads in the past with Android phones, and I like that they have the fan in them to help with the heat.
What App are you guys talking about to check the wattage being used? I'd like to try that when I unbox the Samsung charger.
