Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] iPhone 7: Apple plans 'to introduce charging from 15ft'

Clearly a pocket is not conducive. If the device is sitting on a desk, it gets light.

On an overcast day the amount of power my solar screen could generate is very close to nil unless I'm setting it out and not putting it in my pocket like I normally do

Solar doesnt need bright white light. Suns rays get through cloud, albeit less irradiance. They diffuse elsewhere too

At that efficiency, a 5-inch by 3-inch panel would generate a maximum of about 1.6 watts.
Obviously, only when it is in good lighting (i.e., not in your pocket).
The standard Apple iPhone charge charges at, I believe, 5 watts.

It was more tongue in cheek Jim, but on the other hand, if it charged at 1.6 watts thats probably more than wireless.

Except the wireless charges at that rate continuously all day (at work, say), while the solar only works in bright direct light.

I would not want to be working in an office and leaving my iPhone on the windowsill across the room most of the time I'm there, unattended, to get a decent charge.

Perhaps a holder to keep it in place on the roof of the car as you drive around… and then try not to forget you eft it there.
