Seems like it should be a dumb LCD clock in front with the phone dock behind it. Now the iPhone can be grabbed off and used in an emergency. The BC21 shown is close, but the alarm and other features are redundant.
- swiftcoder 2y agoThere's an eject button to let you grab the phone, and the phone exits standby as soon as it disconnects from the charger - I don't get what problem you are trying to solve?
- jc2jc 2y agoFrom the OP's repy in another thread it appears that ejecting of the phone was not initially shown/written about in the first iteration of the blog post. Maybe the parent comment only saw the post before the update.
- 1970-01-01 2y agoThis is a 4-fold design improvement: 1) Seeing the time without any phone present. 2) An independent time display also would be a tiny load, so the trickle vampire energy isn't being wasted. 3)Removing the only moving part also simplifies using the phone immediately. Do you want to be fumbling with an eject spring latch when someone is having a heart attack? 4)Compatibility: Now it works for Android, iPhone, Blackberry, or whatever other devices already use wireless charging.
- swiftcoder 2y agoI mean, I don't disagree with some of your points, but surely that's just a different, only tangentially-related product? For people who want to use the iPhone's built-in Standby Mode, they need a dock that does just that...
