Apple working on iPad Pro with glass apple for wireless charging and MagSafe
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Debbie Wu reported last year that Apple was testing a new iPad Pro with a glass back for wireless charging. Now it appears that the company is looking for alternatives to this solution.
What did they come up with?
9to5Mac's Filipe Espósito says Apple seems to have abandoned the idea of a glass back
Citing sources familiar with Apple's design plans, the report claims that the company has developed several prototypes of a wireless charging tablet. In the first case, only the corporate logo is made of glass, which should provide support for wireless charging. In the second case, Apple added a MagSafe charger with stronger magnets than on the iPhone. This prototype is rumored to support faster wireless charging speeds than MagSafe on iPhone.
Unfortunately, it is not yet clear whether Apple will use these methods in the new iPad Pro, which is expected to be released this year. But one thing is clear - future tablets will be equipped with wireless charging.
