Start-up with Apple to develop wireless charging technologyEnergousHowever, BGR reports that it has signed a partner contract.Disruptive Tech ResearchAnalyst Louis Basenese says that Apple will become the first company to offer Energous's wireless charging technology "WattUp" for the general public.

"WattUp" can wirelessly power the terminal if it is within a distance of 15 feet. Receiver chips that receive radio from WattUp's power supply and convert it to electric power are extremely compact and can be mounted on smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. Indeed, in the demonstration movie below, you can see that you can charge the terminal securely even 4 meters or more away.

Demo starts. The man holding on the left hand is an iPhone with a charging case equipped with a WattUp receiver chip, the one under the right hand is the charging dock with the built-in receiver chip and the iPhone connected to it.

"

BGR is watching that this Wattup will not be adopted for "iPhone 7" which is expected to appear in 2016, and it is speculated that a wireless charging compatible terminal will appear in 1 or 2 years I will. Indeed, Energous said in the past that "WattUp technology is going to be commercialized successfully and will go from the second half of 2016 to the beginning of 2017", so if the iPhone appearing after that will have a wireless charging function BGR will It is watching.
