iPhone 8 Charging: Images of a possible iPhone 8 charging component have leaked, AppleInsider notes. The person behind the leak claims that the charging components are for the iPhone 8 itself. However, it appears that the components are too large to fit inside of the smartphone. It is more likely that the component is for the wireless wireless charging stand that the iPhone 8 will use. The device is expected to support wireless charging, but it will most likely be inductive.
McDonald’s App: McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) is using an iPhone 8 mockup to promote its app in Australia, reports 9to5Mac. The company is sending out an image in emails that shows off mobile ordering for its app. The device in the image is a mockup of the iPhone 8.
