A new patent awarded to Apple reveals the company is interested in producing its own wireless charging docks for mobile devices, AppleInsider reveals. However, these charging docks won’t be as “dumb” as current charging mats used by multiple devices. Instead, Apple’s dock will have some smart features, which will let it perform various actions on top of simply charging a battery wirelessly. In fact, such a charging surface with smart features may one day be built into a MacBook, which would allow users to simply place the iPhone or iPad on top of a laptop to initiate a series of actions. According to the patent, the charging dock would change behavior depending on the orientation of the mobile device placed on it.
