With the arrival of the new 12-inch MacBook we saw how Apple reimagined its keyboard to get a much thinner laptop and also have larger keys in an even smaller space than on the previous keyboard. This indicates that Apple is continuing to investigate in order to make mechanical parts of your computers are getting thinner and smaller.
All of this could lead to peripherals wireless. They currently have three main peripherals on the market. We could talk about the Magic Mouse, the Magic Trackpad and its keyboard. The three devices They work via Bluetooth and carry batteries for power. Well, Apple has filed a patent with which they could add solar panels to these peripherals.
This situation would not be surprising since Apple does not stop making environmental reports in which it always boasts that they are one of the greenest companies not only in terms of the materials they use in their products but also the energy they use. you employ in the factories and data centers you use. Now it seems that they are also focusing on their products using the least amount of energy and For this, that could happen by having peripherals that are powered by solar energy, as a solar calculator can do.
Those from Cupertino have thought that it could be possible that their peripherals would no longer need batteries for their operation and have registered a patent in which the idea of adding solar panels to these devices is explained so that the end user does not have to worry about charging them or changing their batteries.
The patent not only explains how the integration of these solar panels would be for operation when it is daytime and gives it ambient light. It also explains the process by which the peripheral it would store that energy in internal batteries to be able to operate in the absence of sunlight.
