We could be saying goodbye to pesky chargers FOREVER.

Ah, the iPhone charger.

The bane of our smartphone existence. When you need it, it’s never there, but you can be sure that when you DON’T need it, it will be all tangled up in your earphones and you won’t be able to get rid of it.

Well, if leaked photos of the highly anticipated iPhone 7 are to be believed, it’s not just the headphone jack that is out the window, but these pesky cables too.

Yep, the iPhone could be about to go wireless.

That means charging up and transferring data without the use of a USB cord.

Hallelujah.

The Smart Connector is currently used to connect the iPad to a keyboard without the use of a USB, and now Japanese sources say that this will be the way future iPhones are charged too.

Understandably, smartphone lovers are very excited about these photos.

Let it be true.
