Apple plans 'to introduce charging from 15ft'
Description
Ukrainian designer Herman Haidin investigates the possibility of a fully waterproof iPhone
It was rumoured last month that Apple was interested in adding groundbreaking wireless charging capabilities to its iPhone range, using technology that would enable the handset to be re-charged autonomously from a substantial distance.
Now, fresh reports hint the company could introduce it on their upcoming iPhone 7.
According to the New York Post, Apple has partnered up with tech firm Energous to use their WattUp wire-free charging system in future smartphones.
Energous's two-part technology allows "practically any type of device" to be charged wirelessly from distances of up to 15ft.
It uses a "tiny" chip - ideal for Apple, considering their design constraints – which receives power from a transmitter. It could mean phones able to be recharged while in user's pocket, so long as they were in range of the charging beacon.
