Apple bought a company specialized in wireless charging, based in New Zealand and named PowerbyProxi. It is not yet known how much Apple paid for the 10-year-old company, but it started from the University of Auckland and has created great products since it came to Apple's attention.
Commenting on the acquisition, those from Apple stated that they want to use the technologies of this company to simplify wireless charging. We already know that iPhone 8 si iPhone X they have integrated wireless charging systems through induction and magnetic resonance, but Apple also wants to offer a remote charging system.
"The tech giant released the news on Wednesday, with senior vice president of hardware engineer Dan Riccio saying the "team will be a great addition as Apple works to create a wireless future". "We want to bring truly effortless charging to more places and more customers around the world," he said.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), says its goal is to provide an effortless wireless charging system for iPhone and iPad, and PowerbyProxi could help. Of course, we don't know yet what exactly attracted the attention of Apple among all the technologies from New Zealand, but we are definitely talking about something important that was made by them.
Although everyone expected the iPhone 8 and iPhone X to have a remote wireless charging system, in reality we don't have anything like that. The American company is still working on a technology for remote wireless charging, but it's hard to say when, or if, we'll have something like that available from Cupertino too soon.
