I believe apple is moving towards exclusively QI-charging and wireless connection.

I sure hope not. I'd have to take off my case every time I wanted to charge my phone.

I charge my samsung just fine with a decently fat case. Does apple have a weaker QI receptor?

I have a wallet case. It's really really thick. It holds all my credit cards and drivers license and stuff.

I see. I believe that Apple's vision is that payment cards and drivers licence will soon be fully integrated in the phone, eliminating the need for a wallet case. Not that I'm an Apple user, but I am pretty much at the point of never using physical payment cards, and my drivers licence has a digital version in my country.

I'll still need my health insurance card, my driver's license, etc. That won't work on a phone.

My health insurance is fully digital and my country has an official app for driver's licences. This varies from country to country, but I think we're all heading in that direction.
