Most of the time that I've had a problem with it not charging right (constantly thinks it's being plugged/unplugged) there has been pocket lint in the port. You can't really see it because it's so packed in there it just looks like the bottom but if you take a toothpick or something else not conductive and dig around you can get it out. I've fixed other people's phone issues by doing that as well.
More like he is happy about it. Tesla made a fortune licensing his AC current patents to Westinghouse and did a lot research with inductive recharging. However, even he could not break the 1/r^2 attenuation you get with any RF power source with the electrical materials he had at in his time now just over century ago. There have been some success with inductive recharging over distances more than a few millimeters but that has involved directional antennas and very tightly matched electrical impedance of the transmitter and receiver. Curious to see their approach.
Funny you mention that:
I think you mean the FCC. If it's the US Food and Drug Administration overseeing electronics now, approval will indeed be a b*tch.
I've been watching both companies patents for a few years now. I do think Samsung will release it first, what's funny however is that both companies are taking almost literally the same approach.
I hope someone strapped some magnets to him and put the coffin inside a big coil - free electricity!
Nah, the S model introduces new technologies and tests them in a fixed design language. The following model perfects it. The iPhone 5s introduced TouchID, but only the 6 used it for Apple Pay.
Try calling it progress.
Rubish, Nokia and others had already killed it by being smaller and thinner™.
Well it would mean being able to set my phone in front of me at my office desk and know it's charging without having to plug/unplug as I go to meetings.
Until you overcome its shortcomings.
With bluetooth headphones and wireless charging you can load and listen and have a free port left for something else. All you need is to make wireless technology reliable.
While I'm board with the "less bulk" comment, it would be a bigger improvement to remove the home button/rearrange the front of the phone to reduce the overall size while keeping the screen size as it stands, than make it thinner.
What are you doing with your chargers that causes them to break so soon????? I've had my Lightning charger for 4 years and it's still PERFECT! Don't abuse your cord and you won't have this problem.
Gimme a smaller and lighter iPhone.
I don't argue with ergonomics....or the lack of it, because you are spot on, and I usually pull from the cable just like the majority, but i know it might damage the cable itself, I do not need to be told that!
And yet the original 5 and 6 introduced large screen displays, among other significant features. The 3G introduced ... 3G, and GPS. The 4 introduced a gyroscope, and CDMA, HSUPA, HD Video, LED flash, front camera, 5mp photos.
No they can't. Wireless charging will require an optional accessory like the iPhone Lightning Dock for $39. It won't be included and it won't be the only way to charge your phone. Besides, Lightning is also needed as a data port.
The screen is part of the outer design of the phone, it only updates with the natural numbers. Same goes for the antenna system and the buttons which are tied to the case.
They didn't introduce anything"Apple doesn't innovate!!"
Apple introduces true wireless charging
"Apple is innovating too much! I'm scared!
