Nevertheless, the new patent describes a corporation built-in iOS-device and the Mac converter that will allow them to be charged from a special solar panel.
We are talking about direct intervention in the “iron» iPhone, iPad and Mac, 9to5Mac reports portal has links to Patently Apple. The special integrated power management system will be able to charge gadgets as from the usual outlets and from the solar panels.

Thus, for example, to recharge the battery level smartphone using natural energy, you have to carry a solar panel of a certain size. Not the best choice for those who value portability.
The effectiveness of the use of this accessory in the realities of individual countries also remains a big question.
