Digitimes: Samsung and Apple to move to wireless charging this year

Don't SGS3 and Note 2 already have support for wireless charging?

No, they don't. You can add it with replacement back panels or such, AFAIK.

Can't wait for Apple to do their standard "give existing technology a really catchy name and use it as the major selling point of their new phone, several months after everyone else" with this one!

i hope the GS4 has this

I don't think Samsung are bothering with this, the vice ceo has already said they are using a removable battery in the GS4 and not overly fussed about changing that and not overly fussed about wifi charging either.

I would by this every time I got a phone if it was a option at the time of purchase. Just as I always by a charging cradle now when they have one.

In other words, they have support for it.

Also, I understand (no first hand experience though) that you don't need a replacement back piece or anything, just something to go between the back panel and the battery.

Third-party support yes, hardly the same thing. But I obviously see your point.

And yes, you can mod your own with some easily available parts - or so I understand it, no experience either.
