According to rumors, the iPhone 8 will have several innovations, including a wireless charging system that works from a distance. Some smartphones charging through electromagnetic induction have been in the market for some time. A technology that is used to charge devices such as smartwatches, headsets and other devices.
The rumor arises in the revelation of the company Energous, which indicates that it has an agreement with one of the five largest consumer electronics companies in the market, which according to the sources mainly include Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, which has increasingly been more interested in the type of technology developed by the company. Energous, based in San Jose, Calif., Is one of the few companies competing to launch technologies that enable our phones, tablets and smart clocks to be charged remotely.
Energous has announced a wireless charging platform that works differently - called WattUp which detects compatible devices that are in the same environment, synchronizes with them and then starts charging remotely. The company points out another benefit, where the user does not have to keep reminding himself to recharge his gadgets. Just enter the range of the transmitter for the device to connect and charging begins.
To locate compatible devices in the environment, WattUp uses Bluetooth LE (Low Energy). After the communication is established, the equipment emits radio waves in frequencies between 5,85 GHz and 5,87 GHz, which in the receiving device are converted into electric current and from there the recharge begins. If this technology of wireless charging is implemented, not only by Apple but also in other companies that develop gadgets, we can say that the year of 2017 may be the principle of users' abondon walking with chargers, definitely the year.
