This year several smartphone manufacturers thought of implementing an induction charging system in their own devices and many people started to wonder why Apple didn't do the same. Phill SChiller declared, very rightly, after the launch iPad Mini that this type of technology is not yet useful enough to be implemented in iDevices, and leaving aside its information, Apple try to patent a new wireless charging system that is theoretically superior to those available on the market.
The virtual charging shown in patent FIG. 2 Below, illustrates an area that could define a region in which suitably configured peripheral devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, and so on could receive power by way of a NFMR channel formed between the NFRM power supply and a NFMR resonator circuit included in the peripheral device. In this way, when both the NFMR power supply and the NFMR resonator circuit are tuned to each other, then usable power could be transferred over a power conduction channel formed between the two resonant devices.
To wirelessly charge electronic products, Apple intends to use magnetic resonance, and its patent application explains the entire system. For now, Apple thinks that it can charge the peripherals of a Mac or even an iPod in this way, but iDevices are not currently included in Apple's strategy. To be honest, I would like to see a wireless charging system made by Apple in the near future, but I think that if it is released, it will be implemented only in Macs and will not be accessible to everyone.
