iPhone 8 Wireless Charging to Use In-House Induction Chariging Technology?
RommeliPhone 8 speculations have roamed around the internet and one of the breakthrough findings according to analysts is that the new Smartphone will be featuring wireless charging capability. Reports from Copperfield Research give light to the kind of technology that Apple will be using for the said upgrade.
According to earlier reports, radio-frequency-based wireless charging company Energous struck a deal with one of the top consumer electronic companies in the world to come out with a breakthrough product. However, this cancels out that Apple partnership. It seems that Copperfield found out that Apple is abandoning RF and will essentially be using in-house inductive charging solutions for their new Smartphone release.
In Copperfield's investigation, they stated that Apple has already filed several patent applications - around 16 to cover aspects of inductive charging. The said mechanism employs magnetic coil based wireless charging, which is presently available in Apple watches and Samsung phones. They added that the extensive portfolio of the Apple patent covers not only the design but also the manufacturing of such coils, along with the receivers and transmitters. Additionally, the focus of the said company in patent filings just shows how inductive charging can be the thing for iPhone 8 in the future.
The aggressive patent filing, especially after inductive charging was used for Apple watch may not be a strong evidence but there is a direction that it is heading that way. Apple had also been outspoken recently regarding the flaws and weaknesses of the RF-based wireless charging technology. Aside from the induction charging technology, Apple is reportedly banking on mobile face recognition security.
Recent iPhone 8 speculations claim that inductive charging cannot penetrate aluminum cases, which pales in comparison with RF. This may be the reason why Apple is going for an all-glass body on its new handset. Apple has also tapped the services of Lite-On Semiconductors for wireless charging bridge rectifiers used to convert AC to DC - a necessary inductive charging component.
