I don't know why, but I find this exciting. It makes me happy to know in the future that for smartphones we will not need to worry about building bigger and environment damaging batteries for our phones. Instead, you can go out and know that there'll most likely be a charger wherever you go.
The likes of Starbucks are already offering wireless charging, McDonald's is slowly rolling out wireless charging (currently only in the UK). Eventually almost everywhere you go there will be a charger. I think wireless charging is one of the more exciting things to happen in a while (even though the tech has been around for a long time).

- zurn 12y agoIn laptops, the battery management system has the "stop charging" threshold higher than the"start charging" threshold. Probably the same in phones. (You can tune these in ThinkPads, http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-faq.html#battery http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-faq.html#battery)
- shurcooL 12y agoAssuming modern battery charging technology and Li-* batteries, no, they would not last less than otherwise. See https://www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ https://www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ for example.
