The way it works with Samsung phones is that when you buy the phone, you
get an AC adapter and a USB cable. You can charge your phone by just
plugging your USB cable into your phone and your AC adapter and then of
course plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet. This is basically
identical to how things work with the iPhone.
If you purchase a wireless charging pad then you get the pad , a USB
cable and an AC adapter. The pad is a disk that's a bit shorter and
wider than the S7 and a bit thicker. You plug the cable into the AC
adapter and the pad and then you only need to drop your Samsung phone
onto the pad. When traveling you can take the pad with you or just the
AC adapter and USB cable.
I'm familiar with the Samsung devices, but I'm pretty sure this is how
it works with all phones that support wireless charging.

With the elimination of the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 and its
implications for those of us who listen and charge via wires, I'm
looking for comments on wireless charging. I understand that how this is
ultimately implemented by Apple is speculation but I'm curious at what
others think.
My understanding that wireless charging in the Android world with the
Samsung devices requires use of a charging pad. If that is correct, it
seems to me that such a configuration requires hauling around more than
a AC adapter plug and a lightning cable as I currently do when traveling
in order to charge my iPhone. Is my understanding correct regarding what
is currently existing in the wireless charging world?
Do those who keep beating the wireless charging drum expect that Apple
will come out with an iDevice that has wireless charging built in by
tapping a button or flipping a switch? This seems unlikely to me and
having to carry around a charging pad or however Apple implements this
seems more inconvenient than carrying around a small lightning cable and
charging adapter as I currently do.
As I said at the beginning, I know this is speculation and that I know
very little about it which is why I'm seeking comments from those on the
list who know much more about this topic than I.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
