New iPad 3 battery woes may carry on to future iPhone 5
We’ve already heard of complaints from New iPad 3 customers pointing out that the new tablet has trouble charging up. Given that it has a 70 percent larger battery to accommodate for the faster processor and 4G LTE, there is no avoiding this. So we can expect the same slow charging issues with the iPhone 5 when it gets a bigger battery to make up for that faster processor and LTE. That’s where a feature like wireless charging can come in handy. Read on.
According to the latest rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S3 will boast wireless charging abilities that will allow the device to charge up to 2 metres away from the source.
