I would hardly call being cautious "hysterical" , obviously any technology like this should involve research on health implications, you would be a total idiot not to do it.Cue the hysterical claims that it causes cancer or that folks are allergic to wireless charging/power.
I'm curious if you are aware of anything existing that can so significantly increase the human lifetime?
Sure because Apple invented it...The only two things that I am sure in this life:
-Everybody is going to die one day.
-Samsung will copy.
I don't understand the issue with wireless mats? If you hate them being so visible you can easily install them under a desk surface with a bit of help from a router/chisel.
They still need to be plugged in.. I think that's the reason..
The only reason we don't use the same term for wireless access points its because we "know" they are a router, which do require power. But a mat that charges wireless devices, because the *only difference* is no cable is physically attached to the device being charged., but u still need lay on in something specific to charge.. like a mat
That to me, is not wireless anything for those reasons.
If a mat needs to be plugged in, i can live with that, but i cannot live with a device must be rested on some particular object TO charge if u are talking about wireless charging.
-You can pick the phone up and use it while it's charging.Well long range wireless will stll need to be plugged in - it's not magically going to pull electricity from nothing.
The only difference seems to be where you have the 'emitter' - close by or not so close by. So what?
I hope by "future" they mean the iPhone 7-series.![]()

I have no clue whether this will prove to be actually possible, but if Apple come up with batteries that never need charging (and ideally expire after precisely two years...) they won't need to worry about "growth" for quite a while.Now install it in your car and most rooms in your house and you never plug in your phone again or worry having to put it down anywhere in particular.
From a practical point of view, I agree. But focussing power to a location only millimetres away from my brain requires some confidence that they don't mis-focus.BlueTooth wireless headphones. That would eliminate one complaint about eliminating the 3.5mm jack, since they would rarely run out of power.

Waves of power passing through the body doesn't exactly sound healthy, which is why thorough research needs to be done before it comes into consumers hand.

How many different types of cancer will this technology give me?
Maybe we are talking about different technology. There are companies that have proposed solving the range problem of wireless charging by focussing the energy on a specific location. Maybe that was a different company, I don't remember their name. And it is not a focussed beam (as in laser beam), it is really focussing on a specific location in space.What??
Either you grossly misunderstand the technology or I do.
I believe there is a charging "field", & anything in that vicinity gets charged, NOT a highly concentrated "focused" beam of electricity shot at at a specific pinpointed small target.

...but Apple executives have downplayed wireless charging in the past due to its dependence on built-in chips, mats, and close proximity. In a 2012 interview, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller said it wasn't clear "how much convenience" magnetic induction and resonance wireless charging systems offered because they still need to be plugged into the wall.

The existing wifi and cellular microwaves are capable of providing power now, without any special focusing. It's all energy which just needs to be converted to the right type to charge a battery, or power a device.
Yes.So how does this work? If it really "harvests" radio waves and converts it into DC, wouldn't the sender's power output be severely higher than that of other devices like routers and therefore potentially problematic for one's health?
