Wireless charging pads are all over CES 2018, thanks to the new iPhones

Qi charging is experiencing a second renaissance


But even as Qi charging is experiencing a second renaissance as it achieves a new kind of mainstream success, it’s still important to remember that it’s ultimately a stopgap measure while real wireless charging gets sorted out. Sure, Qi charging does charge your phone without plugging it in, but you still need to place it on a specific pad every time, in a way that’s not really that much more convenient than a wired connection.

And in the halls of CES, the first stirrings of what comes next are already happening. Companies like Energous have already started demoing true wireless charging, the kind that people really want, where their phones magically recharge from across a room without ever needing to plug in a cord or drop it on a charging pad.
