| Apple wants to wirelessly charge iPhone with MacBook |
Apple wants to wirelessly charge the iPhone with its MacBook because it has obtained two patents describing how its devices can be charged wirelessly in both directions.
These patents contain graphics that show your MacBook is shipped with a variety of devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, and graphics for iPad and iPhone that perform the same operations.
If this sounds familiar, it's because several other mobile phone manufacturers have released devices with similar reverse wireless charging technology, but Apple's approach is a little different.
Depending on the patent image, you can use a MacBook case, touchpad, or trackpad to charge iOS devices that support wireless charging.
These patents attempt to solve the problem of insufficient outlets, power supplies, or no power at all.
The patent states that while connectors and cables are standard, each device may need a separate or connected power source for charging.
In some cases, it can be difficult to use, store, or transport a separate power source for each device. If it is not included separately, the equipment will be difficult to equip. Separate power supply.
Sometimes this technique can be helpful. For example, if you are too far from the charger and your Apple Watch or AirPods are finished charging, it will help if you can charge it from the phone.
It would also be helpful if you were able to charge the phone from a laptop. Since Apple is moving to an unplugged iPhone, this technology may be a way to maintain this functionality.
Currently, MacBooks and iPads are made of aluminum and are not compatible with wireless charging. If Apple is to incorporate this reverse wireless charging technology into its devices, it needs to find a design that overcomes this limitation.
Interestingly, given the idea of a MacBook or iPad with a wireless charging coil that can charge multiple devices at the same time, it's hard to avoid considering the AirPower project. And many of Apple's competitors have some type of reverse wireless charging, too. Features.
