MacRumors has found a Patent Application by Apple that reveals that Apple is investigating the use of solar power for use in their mobile devices and laptops. Putting a solar panel will greatly improve up time in devices but isn’t just that easy…
When developing a mobile phone that has a solar panel in it has many draw backs. Some of these include where to put the panel, how much sunlight it will receive, and if it will even be useful to the general consumer.
If any company can innovate in such productive ways you know it must be Apple. They have released some new ideas that have been followed by many people and companies. And if Apple starts to develop mobile solar panels then many companies will follow.
