Another year, another announcement by Energous that it will be displaying stuff at CES. Will this finally be the year? If Apple can get this into the next iPhone...

3ft won’t exactly be game changing. Main advantage is you don’t have to carefully align on the charging pad.
I'm thinking more along the lines of having a laptop, iphone, Apple Watch, and any other wireless device at a desk environment all charging simultaneously without wires and pads. To me, that is game changing.
Not "game changing" but it's a pretty good start - especially if you have multiple hubs around the house/office. Not to mention, it's only going to improve. Bluetooth sucked when it was first introduced (in my opinion...), but now it's very useful (again, in my opinion).
I agree it can someday be game changing. Just don’t agree that it is game changing when it works within 3 feet (and presumably it works not well at that distance, given physics and all)
That's a good point - if it barely charges at 3 feet, then it's not a good product and needs some development. On the other hand, if 3 feet is the max range where it still charges well (then drops off after that), then I think it could still be a good product.
The caveat for me is an adapter. The wireless charging has to be built-in to the product - I'm not sticking some adapter onto my iPad or iPhone (even if it's in "case form").
Isn't all the smart battery management technology supposed to take care of all this so people don't need to worry about when to plug or not to plug? Are we really still at a point where plugging in a charger is the same as tapping directly into household mains wiring and force-feeding current into a battery? By that logic, people should not have to worry about the "charging not supported" message when they plug an uncertified charging cable into an iPhone, because it really does charge?
Do people honestly think that using an 85 W Magsafe 2 power adapter in a MacBook Air is not good because it will "overpower" the Air by force-feeding 85 W to the laptop all the time, so they justify Apple needlessly complicating their inventory with all these different wattage laptop power adapters when one will do just fine?
Does everyone realize that the so-called "positive ions" generated by this device will be causing rampant cataracts and glaucoma? Before you decide to throw brickbats this way, a look at the science would be helpful.
The glutathione in our pupils depends on negative oxygen ions from the air to repair themselves. This device will intercept much the negative ions in the air before they are able to penetrate the eyes. Unrepaired glutathione results in cataracts.
As for glaucoma, the eyes have cilia that act like brooms to move the interior eye fluid out of the eyes. In 1958, Kruger and Smith of the University of California showed that positive ions slow down the cilia from 900 beats a minute to 600 or even stop them altogether.
When the cilia slow down or stop, they produce amyloid plaque clogging the ducts. Fluid pressure builds up resulting in damage to the nerves of the eyes.
Other than 5G, these devices could be the most destructive invention to the health of its users and bystanders ever made, including children who are likely to be exposed to this positive ion invasion.
To make matters worse, since few people would suspect that it was the device that produced the illnesses, a rash of blindness is likely to ensue.
Positive ions don't stop at the eyes, btw. They penetrate the skin. There they come into contact with our cells' "cell channels" where positively charged calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium travel down. The ions from the equipment and inside our bodies repel each other. The results are that those four mineral ions get shunted into the wrong places in our cells. One major effect is the reduction of our primary energy source, ATP since ATP's full name is ATP-Mg, but the Mg is unable to reach its proper destination. Thus we experience a reduction in our ATP energy.
If you feel tired or fatigued a good bit of the time or get tired easily and don't know why, there is a decent chance that you are feeling the effects of electronics already.
