Exactly. I think thus the "Iphone SE" product naming. That form factor seems to be intended to carry the low end flag for a log time...

It's a heck of a device too. I recently bought one for my step-dad.

I think they might call the new one iPhone X.

Wireless RF charging would be a game changer...

Why would it be a game changer, because it's so difficult to walk 15 feet and plug in when necessary?

Is this RF charging device as compact as a regular charger when you need to pack it to travel?

What kind of bulk does the RF charging components add to the device?

There's a convenience of walking into a room and your phone automagically starts charging in your pocket/purse. Picture all of the hipsters in Starbucks with fully-charged iPhones! :D I imagine the receiver technology is about as bulky as current qi wireless charging (that is, very little).
