Producer Wistron, responsible for the assembly of Apple products, confirmed the presence of waterproof and wireless charging for the next generation iPhone smartphones. This is written by Nikkei Asian Review with reference to the statement of the head of the company Wistron, made at a meeting with shareholders.

According to the source, the next generation iPhone will receive two functions that everyone expects. Firstly, the device will be protected from water according to the IP68 standard, that is, it assumes immersion without consequences to a depth of more than 1 meter for 30 minutes. The current Apple flagship is certified with a rating of IP67 on protection from water and dust, that is, it can carry the dive for no more than 30 minutes.

The second innovation in the iPhone 8 will be support for wireless charging technology. All details are not disclosed, but this innovation will definitely be in demand among users.

If previous leaks are confirmed, then two other new smartphones, in particular, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus receive at least one of these functions. In particular, the day before it was reported that smartphones will be clad in a glass case to support wireless charging.

Last week, it was reported that Apple's partner manufacturers had begun mass production of components for three new smartphones - the 4.7-inch iPhone 7s and 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus, and the 5.8-inch iPhone 8 with the AMOLED display. All three versions should receive a casing made of reinforced glass with a metal frame.

According to analysts, shipments of iPhone 8 with AMOLED-display will reach 50-55 million in the second half of the year, while the updated iPhone - 25-30 million.
