iPhone 8 might be able to take a charge 15 feet away from the charger.

Link.



Possible? Yeah, I suppose, theoretically. I'll believe it when I see it, I guess.

Once Apple masters Worm Hole technology, they'll be able to charge a phone anywhere in the universe wirelessly.

I'm hoping this is released by the iPhone 9.  That would be some sweet-ass-shit right there.

very possible, go hold up a fluorescent tube under some high tension wires.

however, also very inefficient.

...so inefficient as to be, shall we say, "unlikely."

Inverse cube (or square, I don't care enough to think overmuch about which applies here) law and all that.

Maybe it will sterilize the hipster fanboys.

What would happen if someone was to drive 88 mph with the iPhone 8? Would we see some serious shit?

I hear distance charging is super wasteful

Like it spoke ur power bill. Something like %4 or the power actually ends up in your phone.

Meh....


APPLE QUIT MAKING IT THINNER, PUT A LARGER BATTERY

Negative. Losses are <2%. I've seen golf carts instantly charged at a distance of 2 ft. And that was 11 years ago.

Ive just been using the microwave to charge mine ever since IOS8 was released

I wouldn't want one if I had mercury fillings

CONCLUSION: Exposure of patients with amalgam restorations to radiofrequency radiation emitted from conventional Wi-Fi devices can increase mercury release from amalgam restorations.

Inverse square law between magnetic field strength and induced current means this will be inefficient but definitely possible.  

Orientation of the phone will also be an issue - projected area of the induction coil in direction of magnetic field.




I don't think there's a link between magnetic fields and cancer, do you?  It might give homing pigeons and bees a false indication of how to get home but,...
