Somehow Microsoft is able to produce magnetic chargers for their Surface devices though. It'd be nice if Apple would allow the patent to be breached now that they're not using it.
- jcrawfordor 7y agoApple holds a patent on magnetic charging, Microsoft holds a patent on magnetic charging + data ports, as well as a patent on magnetic USB-C now. I'm not sure how well these would hold up against Apple's patents in court, but I think the two companies both have so many lawyers and so many patents that there's a bit of a mutually assured destruction situation with either going after the other on charging technology.
