The current mainstream wireless charging method is carried out between wireless charging docks and devices. Apple's patent looks like this. More like the desire to strengthen the connection between various products of Apple, in the formation of a complete ecological chain, but also to bring a more consistent experience for users.

From the patented image of Apple's exposure, Apple considers placing the wireless charging induction coil on the MacBook's touchpad, the hand rest and the iPad's screen position, allowing the induction coil to charge the iPhone.

Normal use, unless the user uses an external mouse and keyboard, but it is clear that not all MacBook users are equipped with an external mouse and an external keyboard. When the iPhone is placed on the iPad for charging, because the induction coil is in the screen position, this It may make the iPad a purely 'wireless charging' device during this time. With the current patent exposure information analysis, the patent is not very practical.
