During this 2024, the iPhone 16 has been presented, which brings many new features, however, there is one that caught the attention of fans due to wireless charging, and it is the new power capable of taking advantage of these from a MagSafe charger, which, Despite not reaching what Apple says, it is double what it was a year ago.
This leads us to think, if we can really charge a device as quickly as by cableWhat need is there for the iPhone itself to be connected to the wall? Wouldn’t it be safer, faster and more efficient to just use wireless charging? Let’s see the pros and cons of all this.
iPhone without ports and with wireless charging
Apparently, this idea has been floating around in Apple’s head for a long time, and honestly, if the charging speed were the same, having a cable would not contribute anything, because even I, today, without it being So good, I already have several MagSafe at home, so I can support the iPhone at any time and place in my home and always leave it with the battery at its maximum.
For now, Apple promised a speed up to 25Was long as we used an adapter of at least 30W, which would charge the iPhone 16 in half an hour up to 50%. However, the first tests carried out do not reach these data, and although we are talking about double that of the previous model, there is still a lot to improve, since we would be around 1% per minute, which although it is great, especially due to the comfort of load, it’s still very slow.
When sleeping, or leaving it charging for many hours, we understand that lower power will cause the battery to degrade more slowly. However, if we want, or need, it to be much larger, we have a problem, since it still would not be on par with other brands.
Be that as it may, the future is wireless technology. Most cars, or even tables at fast food chains like McDonald’s, already have a charger of this style built in, and just by placing the phone on the base, it will begin to recharge.
Among the patents that we found from Apple this month, we see an interesting one, and it would be an iPhone 100% resistant to use in water, and without portswhich would further guarantee this resistance, so it could not be unreasonable to see one like this in a few years.
They were the first to remove the minijack, and everyone called them crazy, then it was the charger, and more of the same, why wouldn’t they be the first to remove the last hole left in the phone? The truth is that standardizing this could lead to a new feature on mobile phones, since we are at a major stagnation point.
And you, what do you think of all this? Are you one of those who likes to innovate, or would you stick with cable forever? I said this about headphones, and I can’t remember the last time I used wired ones.
