iPhone 6 with new charging technology already in the works according to report

Adding on to the paper’s earlier report suggesting a redesigned Apple iPhone 5 is about to enter production, The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday added preliminary details surrounding the iPhone 6. The device, which is said to be launching some time in 2012, will feature a “new way of charging the phone,” the report claims, though further details were not provided. It is possible that Apple is looking into a charging solution similar to the Touchstone technology found in HP’s mobile devices, though this would hardly be “new.” Additionally, the report claims Apple is indeed working on a smaller, cheaper iPhone model with an edge-to-edge display, though no new details were added to older rumors in the same vein. The Journal’s earlier report suggested Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone handset is currently being shopped among manufacturers in China. The report also counters earlier reports in claiming the device will be thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4. BGR reported last month that the iPhone 5 would feature a brand new case design, lending additional support to earlier claims that the phone might feature a new slim, tapered case.

    I bet their new revolutionary phone back will be plastic with inductive leads to charge the battery from their wannabe touchstone (just like HP/Palm).  All the reviewers who are obviously afraid of Apple users will call it revolutionary and somehow forget how they called the same thing by HP/Palm cheap.  Meanwhile I’m reading this on my Touchpad which has this technology built into it now.  However, since it’s from HP and not Apple, the shiny plastic inductive backing on my Touchpad that is required to make this technology work was called cheap because it was not made from metal (or from Apple).  I’m giving up on reading tech news.  Apple has not innovated since the iPhone 1.  Each iteration of the iPhone adds old technology that other platforms already have yet you guys give them a pass and give the real innovators hell.  Cell phone tech is going backwards and we are getting killed by a company who’s only claim to fame in the industry right now is that their aging platform is getting thinner and has over 600,000 plus apps, 500,000 of which are useless.  Sorry for the rant but I don’t ever want to read another Apple story on any tech website again.  I’m burnt out on pretentiousness.  I hope other readers will join me in this boycott so that real innovators while finally get credit again and not have their products constantly compared to shiny iCrap!

    Can we please stick to the iPhone 5 news. Like all these rumors about the next generation iPhone aren’t enough with all this other news. I’m actually tired with how ridiculous the rumors are starting to become.

    I bet they won’t follow the global Qi inductive charging standard.
