The New York Times this must be legit. I'm so excited to see Apple effortlessly destroy the current "smart watches" on the market

I'm ready! Innovate and inspire the rest Apple!

Flop

I am so excited for this

Apple stays inspiring the rest! They better catch up!

Apple refuses to let me gather my coins in peace

Who cares? There's like two phones with "flexible displays" that aren't even completely flexible, and wireless charging has yet to become popular. Apple is giving them the innovative and simplified boost they need in order to become popular, just like the fingerprint scanner and touchscreen smartphone itself.

Wireless charging "yet to become popular"?

Because Nokia, Sony, LG, Samsung and Google haven't all been using it in their devices since 2013 right?

Even $20 electric toothbrushes use it, so have a seat if you aren't already seated.

LITERALLY copying the Galaxy Note

Yaaaaasssss! Apple bringing tech and pop together!!!

Where's the lie? Just because it's in phones doesn't mean it's popular. You have to buy expensive charging pads or ugly cases, not to mention it's not nearly as efficient as simply plugging it in.

Besides, what's the benefit of wirelessly charging a phone over plugging it in anyway? If it's wirelessly charging you can't even hold it, and you have to wait at least 1.5x longer for it to charge completely. Until it charges as fast as plugging it in, it's pointless for phones.

Putting it in the iWatch actually makes sense since you wouldn't be using it whether it was plugged in or wireless, and a watch isn't something you normally have to plug in (like all other smart watches on the market right now).

Yeah... they're copying something that was just announced for a phone that has been in development for 2+ years

Considering their philosophy for the 4" screen that it was the perfect size to use one-handed, it's not surprising that they'd make a mode to bring back that convenience.

Wireless charging is pretty common place and cheap now. My toothbrush and razor both do it.... and I bough low end ones.

Jesus... I'm not talking about personal care items. I'm talking about consumer electronics... you know, things with large batteries that people want charged as quickly as possible and thus require efficient charging techniques. People aren't in as much of a rush to charge their toothbrush as they are their phone so manufacturers don't have to spend nearly as much effort making sure they're charging the toothbrush as quickly as possible.

galaxy note has existed for 3+ years Before that, Steve Jobs was busy mocking phones bigger than 3.5"
