No more cables

New technology is exciting stuff.

Things are about to get even more streamlined over at Apple headquarters if this new idea gets the green light.

A newly published patent offers some insight into Apple’s plans to completely remove all charging ports from their phones.

How do you charge your phone then? It seems that we’ll all be looking to get some more life in our battery via wireless or magnetic means.

Apple’s plans include charging iPhones from the Apple logo on the back of the phone or from the iPhone words etched on the lower back of the phone.

A number of Android phones currently people to charge their phones wirelessly but it is not fully clear what method of charging Apple might adopt. All we know is that they plan on removing  those pesky cables.

This isn’t the only thing that’s being considered by the technology giant because the idea of a heart rate monitor in the Apple logo is also being played with.

This is all very exciting news, but you’ll have to wait a while before it becomes a reality. Apple frequently patent new technology and ideas, some ultimately make their way into production and others don’t.

This one is definitely interesting.
