It's now possible to add wireless charging to an iPhone 7 for $70 using an aftermarket kit sold by Strange Parts. The kit is made possible thanks to a circuit board (flex PCB) designed by Yeke.



Watch Scotty Allen, an American engineer, try out the hack for the first time in the video below...







Strange Parts has made an alpha version kit available that lets you add wireless charging to your iPhone 7.



This kit includes:

● A shiny red iPhone 7 shell with Strange Parts logo

● A wireless charging module

● Foam padding for the connector (double what you should need in case you screw up)

● An extra cable for the wireless charging module (in case you damage the existing one - requires simple soldering to swap out)

● Online installation instructions - both written instructions and a video, compiled by yours truly (with Yeke's help)



You can purchase the iPhone 7 Wireless Charging Kit for $70 at the link below! Depending on demand, kits for other iPhones may be made available in the future. Yeke's kit supports the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus but it's only sold in China.



Warning:

This kit is for adventurous souls only! It's an alpha version - as you saw from the video, it's a bit challenging to get working, and we're still continuing to refine the installation process. You'll also need to complete disassemble your phone and reassemble it in the new phone shell provided. So there's plenty of opportunity to break your phone.
