Christopher, Thanks for clarifying this. It's good that a charging option will at some point exist for the iPhone that won't interfere with those wanting to use wired headsets but we're still going to be using a wire to plug that charging pad into something. I like that the Samsung also gives users the option to charge the old fashioned way with a cable and adapter.

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.
