Whoever bought Mophie won’t like it when Apple debuts distance wireless charging. Distance wireless charging is huge. Everyone will just notice their phones not dying near as often due to the fact that they are frequently charging without even thinking about it. iPhones take extremely little energy to charge yearly, and Apple isn’t going to be introducing a charging method that is very wasteful, so what you’ll see are many public places and businesses offering free wireless charging, as they offer wifi now. Wireless is of course far better because it’s unobtrusive, you just walk into a business and you’re charging. This essentially gives everyone far more battery capacity because you’ll be charging far more often than you do now, without even thinking about it. As far as revolutionary features go, this one is big, when it comes.
