Apple is said to be developing a new wireless charging technology for its future iPhones and iPads.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is currently working on a new technology that will allow iPhones and iPads to be charged wirelessly, away from their dock. Apple is looking to overcome some technical barriers including loss of power over distance the report stated and no official timeframe has been set yet.
Apple is exploring cutting-edge technologies that would allow iPhones and iPads to be powered from further away than the charging mats used with current smartphones, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details are private. The iPhone maker is looking to overcome technical barriers including loss of power over distance with a decision on implementing the technology still being assessed, they said.
Efficiency of power transfer decreases as the distance between transmitter and receiver grows, which means batteries take longer to recharge.
