iPhone
7: wireless charge for as far as…
Latest reports have been spreading
that, Energous, a small start-up company has started a contract with Apple to
bring a brand new gaming technology to the upcoming iPhone. And this technology
is called WattUp. WattUp is actually a chip which is, once added to the device,
allows it to get charged wirelessly from as far as up to 15 feet (around 4.5
meters). This chip developed by Energous will be so tiny it won’t affect the size
of the smartphone, knowing that Apple is trying to keep the iPhone 7 as slim as
possible.
In order to activate wireless
charging from WattUp, you need to put a transmitter inside your room or office,
and the device will be automatically charged all day, even all night. And also
according to same reports, by partnering with Energous, Apple will be having
all exclusive rights to this technology, making the awaited iPhone 7 a step
more competitive than its rivals, which include most of the soon-to-be-released
premium flagships of 2016.
Although we haven’t had any real life experience with this
WattUp chip, it sounds like there would be a lot more convenience by using this
kind of distanced and automatic charge. It would be very more appealing if the
wireless charge is also fast charge. Because except for bed time, who would
stay in a room for longer than a couple of hours?

7 new tech – featuring a new variant
Apparently, neither Apple nor
Energous have had their official confirm on this partnership. But they don’t
deny it either. Some rumors are even suggesting an iPhone 7S variant to
experiment this brand new technology.
