iPad 3 said were thinner and lighter battery
Boy Genius report presents a history of the economic Taiwan News today which said that Apple has enlisted Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology to make batteries for the iPad packs 3. Apparently these new batteries which will be made by these two new companies will be ?thinner and lighter? than the iPad 2, according to the sources of the Economic News? of Taiwan, and this fact, packs? battery charges will increase to between 20% and 30%. However, while it is thinner and lighter, battery also lasts longer than those of the iPad 2, although there is no specific details revealed on how long again, still. All that extra space created by these small batteries could mean is open to speculation; This could mean that Apple plans to make the iPad even thinner 3 overall than the iPad 2, or perhaps he needs more space inside to accommodate a new item, such as a screen of the retina, for example.

Towards a new method of battery patent Apple Wireless charging

Apple is a company with a very active imagination. The Cupertino giant has registered a patent which describes a method of charging wireless for its products. Users can synchronize their gadgets with iTunes and iCloud via Wi - Fi with iOS 5. In view of this new feature, a charging method battery Wi - Fi does not appear to an idea farfetched anymore.
How is this method works? According to the patent of Apple, iMac or MacBook capture a NFMR energy source (near field magnetic resolution) and then use it to load iPads, iPhone, or iPod wireless. Compatible wireless keyboard and mice may also be charged in this way, but they require coupling of antennas, so require devices is a bit more complicated. To charge gadgets must be placed at a maximum distance of one metre of the iMac or Macbook.
The good news is that the method of loading Apple Wireless can be used on older versions of iMac so. A USB device must be connected to the iMac to capture the energy and transfer to some other iOS gadgets and devices. The bad news is that the charge field is active in an area of one metre. Therefore users have developed their gadgets near the iMac which limits the functionality of wireless battery recharge. Another issue is the level of radiation involved by such a field of energy, especially now when which admitted that the mobile phone radiation can cause cancer.
This could be one of the patents that apple will never put in practice, but it is good to know that the company is concerned about these ideas.
