perhaps supply is limited at the moment, but I’d guess in time a contactless charger data pad on usb-c could be coming for the iPhone.
Has anyone prodded and probed this to see how it works what it can do?
I’m pretty impressed with the idea of it, but it doesn’t seem to be that well known about, perhaps a university lab has been analysing it?
Is this tech built used else where if so where? If not then wouldn’t that be fascinating?
Perhaps there’s some near-field contactless thing going on, magnets in the pad keeping it in the right orientation.
