iPhone might have advanced wireless charging in next year

Wireless mobile charging is more popular in those days, many competitors added this features to their Smartphone, and Apple never added the feature to its iPhone. But in 2017, according to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple might start adding an advanced type of wireless charging — one that works over a distance — to its gadgets.

Now a day lots of companies are supporting wireless charging, such as Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Smartphone, have to be placed on a special mat to be charged. But Apple’s technology would enable an iPhone or an iPad to be charged over the air, with the charger located inches or feet away.

Apple does use a type of wireless charging tech in Apple Watch. While it doesn’t include wires, it also requires the watch to be placed onto a magnetic charging surface. Besides listing a few Apple patents, including a method to make an aluminum phone case that allows radio waves to pass through, the report doesn’t have any further evidence to support the claim, or any other details on how this wireless charging tech would work in practice.

It could definitely be a game-changer in the Smartphone industry, where relatively short battery life is perceived as one of the biggest hurdles to overcome.
