Apple has secured a couple of patents depicting a MacBook wirelessly charging iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, according to Patently Apple. By the way, on a closer look at the patent documents, Apple needs to incorporate wireless charging loops into the landing gear of the MacBook. In addition, the coils work in two different ways, they can draw power and thus wirelessly charge the PC or charge different devices.
The thought is perfect, given all the links and chargers one must take when traveling. Many people from now on use their MacBooks to charge phones and other small devices, but in the traditional and wired way. Here is a passage from one of the patents:
Patent Claim No. 1: “A portable electronic device comprising: an enclosure having a rear surface and defining an opening opposite the rear surface; a screen placed within the enclosure opening; a first inductive coil and a second inductive coil positioned separate from the first inductive coil, both the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil are positioned inside the cabinet and between the screen and the back surface of the cabinet, and operable to transmit power smoothly. wireless to, or receiving power from, an external device placed near the case; and a first alignment component positioned adjacent to the first inductive coil and a second alignment component positioned adjacent to the second inductive coil, wherein the first alignment component is arranged in a first configuration, and the second alignment component is arranged at a second configuration different from the first configuration “.
There are 40 patent cases in the two documents, however the big picture is clear. You take your MacBook with its charger and that’s it. There is no compelling reason to manage proprietary iPhone chargers, cables, watch chargers, etc. The reverse wireless charging of the MacBook itself is an intriguing choice; We bet it would require an incredibly powerful wireless charger to make this choice commercial. Likewise, as with all patents, we shouldn’t have high expectations, even though putting a wireless charging loop on a laptop doesn’t seem like a serious thing.
This won’t be the first laptop to embrace wireless charging. Wireless charging capabilities in laptops date back to 2017 when the Dell Latitude 7285 was launched with a wireless charging coil. There is a wireless charging mat that charges the laptop when placed on top of the mat.
