GEAR4 has announced it is to launch what it says is the world's first dedicated wireless iPhone charger – the PowerPad.
Rather than conductive charging, the PowerPad uses inductive charging, where power is transmitted through the case to the iPhone battery. This means the iPhone can be placed anywhere on the charge pad to be juiced up.
The charging pad plugs into the mains, while the rubber receiver case - that can also act as a protective cover when out and about - powers the device up wirelessly. GEAR4 claims the same charge time as standard wired chargers.
The PowerPad will be available across Europe from November, the charge pad and case kit will cost £79.99 or 99.99 euros.
