Since the Apple Watch uses wireless charging exclusively, Apple is certainly doing neither in general. So, why isn't it on iPhone in specific?<!--break--></p> <p>The Apple Watch has a ceramic back which not only allows for the heart rate sensor but allows for the wireless charging. Wireless charging through non-metallic substances has been possible for a long, long time. Aluminum, which Apple switched to with the iPhone 5 in 2012, not so much.</p> <p>
Qualcomm announced technology to handle wireless charging on phones with metal casings, but only very, very recently—July 28, 2015, to be precise.</p> <p>There are other consideration, of course, but when it comes to understanding why Apple hasn't used wireless charging in iPhones to date, the existence of the right technologies is certainly a great place to start.</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
