I'm surprised Apple didn't co-opt charging mousepad tech, like what Logitech uses: https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/powerplay.html https://www.logite

- ffsm8 2y agoI'm pretty sure it's patented in some way considering Logitech is still the only option for that . The product is already several years old after all (release date 2017)
- Suppafly 2y agoJust pay logitech $5/piece to license the patent and then sell them for $200, there is plenty of meat on the bone for everyone involved. Or bypass the idea of the patent altogether by making their mouse charge wirelessly and then releasing a giant wireless charger that happens to work pretty well as a mouse pad later.
- pikminguy 2y agoOption 1 only works if Logitech plays ball. They might consider the exclusivity very valuable and be unwilling to license it for anything reasonable. Option 2 is a great way to land in court. It's one thing to steal IP from a tiny company or individual but Logitech can afford lawyers.
- jsheard 2y agoApple engineers probably still have PTSD from trying to get the AirPower mat to work, I doubt they'll touch non-magnetic wireless charging again.
