As of now, there are more than two billion smartphone users worldwide, and the figure is going to jump into another two billion very shortly, while the reasons behind such prevalence are not difficult to assess.

With a Smartphone you can do everything at once, including receive calls, check your calendar while you watch videos in Media Player, or while you sync your device with others, and all this without interrupting any of the tasks. In short, it is nothing less than a computer, where you can open windows and work on all simultaneously. However, its Achilles ’ heel lies in its charging process that may often make you fumble with wires after reaching home, finishing a day’s hard work.

However, with innovative wireless charging system introduced by Apple, even this disagreeable chore seems to have become simpler. In fact, all you need to do for charging the battery of your phone boils down to leaving your device on top of the charging pad and then forget about it.

Although there are a few different wireless charging methods, this post focuses  on Qi charging (as Apple is adopting this process). Qi utilizes inductive charging technology, which is rather easy to set up. Despite its commercial popularity (it’s used by thousands of public locations worldwide in hotels, airports, restaurants, manufacturers, etc.) one question that consumers and industry experts are asking now as to how wireless charging will affect a device’s battery.
