Behind the iPhone's wireless charging capabilities, apple's choice and the dawn of the industry
Recently there is a noteworthy news: in the iPhone, the iPhone X 8 after the release, active, starbucks said it would to upgrade some storefront wireless charging infrastructure, to compatible with apple support Qi wireless charging standards.
The reason for the upgrade is that, since the end of 2014, starbucks has been deploying wireless charging facilities in some stores with the help of Powermat, a service provider. But Powermat USES the PMA wireless charging standard, which is incompatible with the Qi standard. The iPhone used starbucks' wireless charging feature to connect to an adapter, and the experience wasn't perfect.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
The good news is that this upgrade should not last long. Powermat's CTO Itay Sherman said in an interview, although the PMA with different communication protocols between Qi and so is not compatible with each other, but they are deployed in starbucks hardware upgradeable ability, as long as through the software update can be compatible.
So, shop upgrade cost is not high, and this two years manufacturers such as samsung and LG have launched support Qi standard, new (Qi and PMA) at the same time, but it was not until the iPhone officially support Qi standard, compatible to make starbucks to do the work, apple brand demonstration effect is evident.
As an indicator of the industry, many new techniques by the potential energy to complete the popularity of apple hardware products, apple reverse also led to some technology development trend, starbucks is just a microcosm of them.
Admittedly, wireless charging is no longer a new technology, even going back to the time of Palm phones. But with the addition of apple's heavyweight player, perhaps the "best of times" in the wireless charging industry has just begun.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
Embracing the open union, apple stands on the shoulders of giants
Maybe you have found that even though the apple for the new iPhone joined the wireless charging function, but had no official accessories can be used at the same time, apple's own wireless charging pad AirPower to on sale until 2018).
Apple can be assured that the reason for this is that the current iPhone users buy Qi compatible device is not a difficult thing - apple's official website has begun selling the authentication component supplier of wireless charging pad, is also available on the market cost of third party such as Anker wireless charger accessories.
Apple has embraced a technology standard that already has a market share and a higher level of acceptance, so it stands on the shoulders of giants.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
Previously, there were three more common technical standards in the wireless charging field (it also represented three different industry alliances). In addition to the aforementioned PMA (Power Matters Alliance) and Qi (WPC), there is also an A4WP standard (Alliance for Wireless Power, which is exactly the Rezence standard).
In 2015, the A4WP and PMA completed the merger, formed the new Alliance AirFuel Alliance, and the WPC Alliance, which led the Qi standard, formed the competition form of "half the world". WPC alliance members are mainly brand dealers and consumer electronics manufacturers. AirFuel alliance is based on suppliers and programme service providers in the industry chain.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
In fact, the differences in membership also affect the direction of the two alliances -- the WPC alliance and consumer electronics are closer, and AirFuel is more industry-focused. But neither alliance can fully lead the market now, and remain in a competitive position (or waiting for a head player to join). Problems is that the industry it is difficult to agree on every level of manufacturers, the consumer mobile phone supports standard may and starbucks shops do not match the standard, can't play out of the convenience of wireless charging.
WPC camps, by contrast, some larger (so far has 258 in support of the enterprises, including many handset vendors), after these years of development has gained certain market perception, also accumulated many compatible equipment. As a consumer electronics manufacturer, joining the WPC alliance is apple's first choice.
Third-party accessories Anker and also to the geek park, said: "apple can use the influence of the WPC, strengthening user understanding of wireless charge; and more equipment can fit it, can make the function of wireless charging spread quickly."(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
In fact, in February, apple to join in the WPC camp news reports, although there has been a lot of anecdotal hearsay and patent information leaks, but the action is considered to be the iPhone will join the wireless charging function of hammer, the later launch also confirmed that it's true.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
"Predecessors trees descendants cool, with the aid of WPC camp of existing resources, apple doesn't need to start from scratch can quickly complete the wireless charging adaptation of the work, not like a completely new technology needs consumers cognition from scratch, which is good for apple. It was the same reason that apple joined NFC BBS.
Choose a mature and reliable technology to reduce deployment costs
The new iPhone wireless charging frequency at around 7.5 W, when using mobile phones must be close to on the wireless charging pad, not the present experience the best solution, and our ideal "charging" also has a certain distance. In fact, this is limited by apple's choice of technology.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
In the specific technical scheme, the current mainstream technology of wireless charging is Magnetic Induction and Magnetic Resonance. The first WPC alliance that apple had joined only supported magnetic induction technology, but the latest technology specification has introduced magnetic resonance technology. The AirFuel alliance is supported by a combination of technical standards for PMA (magnetic induction) and A4WP (magnetic resonance). Therefore, in the specific technical proposal, the resources of the two alliances are not equal.
In short, magnetic induction relies on electromagnetic conversion for power transmission, suitable for short range wireless charging and relatively high charging efficiency, but the transmission distance is within the centimeter level. Magnetic resonance is applied to the magnetic resonance phenomenon, which has higher spatial freedom (long distance and large area), but it is more difficult in efficiency and cost control.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
After the apple press conference, geeke park has interviewed microgoose technology, a domestic company that offers magnetic resonance wireless charging solutions, which has been deployed in some public places. "The magnetic induction technology has some disadvantages in terms of space freedom, but it is a lot better in the whole business environment and the supply chain system," said yu feng, CEO of microgoose technology. While apple's technical solution is different from the direction of its own company, yu feng also affirmed the current advantage of magnetic induction technology.
After we in the NFC qr code war: unexpected to a payment technology war, the article mentioned: a technology is popular, the capability of the technology itself is only one judge dimension. Overall deployment costs, market acceptance may be more central influencing factors.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
Apple joins the WPC camp and USES magnetic induction technology for the same purpose. While technology and other vendors have not pulled the gap, the popularity of new features is clearly beneficial.
The industry is heating up, but apple is not necessarily the future
There is no doubt that apple's addition to the wireless charging industry has been significantly promoted and is considered a new one by the industry. , according to a report in the charge of network due to the apple support wireless charging message drive, the upstream supply chain vendors started to stock up, cheap 104 capacitance had from the original 0.1 yuan rose to at least 1 yuan, now the effects of apple even can be said to be "flat".(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
And it's not just in the smartphone industry, but in other consumer electronics and even cars that use wireless charging. In the absence of revolutionary advances in battery technology, the new charging method is a new selling point. From this perspective, the entire wireless charging industry will benefit from apple's strong potential energy.
For the WPC alliance, having apple's influence in the consumer electronics sector, pushing its own technology programme will be more smooth, would be a big plus. But it is important to note that the apple for the sake of their own development, to join the larger open alliance, choose relatively reliable technical solution, but it is not necessarily representative of the direction for the future of wireless charging.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
In fact, the prospect of Mr Magnetic resonance is widely expected from the exchanges between the geek park and the rechargeable industry. Although Mr Magnetic resonance is still inefficient and costly, the increasingly "free" wireless charging method will be an irreversible development trend.
Specifically, magnetic resonance (NMR) technology increases the freedom of wireless charging, concrete manifestation for charging level area increased and the vertical distance increased, large horizontal recharge area to develop the user experience, can be achieved with the over charge. The remote vertical charging distance can be used to hide the wireless charging device in the environment, which is crucial for the whole wireless charging environment.(For more information, please pay attention to our Jacktelecom jacktelecom.com)
