Apple is placing greater emphasis than ever on battery technology to enable its mobile devices to be charged via solar, inductive and motion-powered means, reports have claimed.
The New York Times claims the Cupertino-based company is working hard on building a 'smarter' battery for its iOS devices and perhaps even the long awaited iWatch smartwatch.
Multiple ex-Apple executives told the paper that solar, in particular, continues to be a major focus for Apple engineers.
Apple is reportedly experimenting with inductive charging and solar charging for its rumored wearable device, according to sources speaking to The New York Times. Though some of the technology is reportedly "years from being a reality," the company is supposedly toying with the idea of incorporating a solar charging layer into the device's screen in an effort to boost its runtime. The battery is usually the largest single component in modern phones, tablets, and Ultrabooks. When it comes to devices you'll be wearing on your wrist, there's less room to fit the big battery you need to keep a device going all day.
If such a technique is familiar to smartphone fans, the report also claims that Apple has been looking at new techniques for prolonging the iWatch battery life. It reiterates that the Apple smartwatch will have a curved screen, but states that under that could be placed a "solar-charging layer.
