🔋Samsung patent shows company working on AirPower-style wireless charging mat .
It’s unclear whether such a device would be suitable for charging both the latest iPhones and the Apple Watch.
Although Apple announced support for the Qi standard, it appears to use a modified version of the standard to charge the Watch.
While Apple doesn’t generally aim to be first to market with new technology, when it does so, Samsung unashamedly aims to be a ‘fast follower.’ Where Apple announces a product some time before availability, as it has here, that would potentially offer Samsung the opportunity to beat the Cupertino company to market.
