Speck Design and Innovator Kyla Wilkenson Create a Truly Wireless Magsafe "Puck" Charger

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 6, 2022

The idea, like the execution, is artfully simple. A charging station that plugs into the wall with a detachable "puck" that magnetically attaches to the back of a phone case or phone. And guess what? That puck charges phones-- sans wire--for reals. This means gone are the days of pacing around tethered to the wall--"wirelessly charging" a phone--when all that is needed are a few bars to get through.

Key Points: 
  • SAN JOSE, Calif., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Most individuals have probably heard about a little something called wireless charging.
  • In theory, it has been a "thing" since Nikola Tesla attempted to create a wireless power transmission by pumping out giant fields of electricity between two massive towers.
  • Fundamentally the science behind wireless cellphone chargers hasn't changed much throughout the years, and surprisingly--neither have the product's features and design aesthetics.
  • Kyla saw it, too--then decided to do something about it and started working with Speck Design (speckdesign.com), the product design house behind the Pop Socket.
