[quote=vision63]This means curved displays and inductive charging is likely in the iPhone's future.

I hope not. It would be a sure sign that Apple has lost the plot.

(See bend-and-shatter-gate and BeagleDave and N-OS X-tasy!'s comments.)

• If the circuitry required to perform inductive charging is built into the iPhone, then it's a terrific solution. If attachment of an external device is required, then it's no better than simply plugging into the recharger currently supplied with the device.
  
• I don't see how Samsung putting together a team to work on displays for Apple devices translates into inductive charging for the iPhone.
  

I agree with N-OS X-tasy! See WebOS devices from "back in the day".
