(Wireless-NewsWire.Com, December 12, 2015 ) Kirkland, WA -- With the global growth of wireless charging skyrocketing, automakers, airlines, hotels and IKEA are all getting in the game, but Apple hasn't budged. With the innovative tech company refusing to make their phones Qi compatible, other technology providers are stepping in to supply what's turning out to be a huge demand for Qi wireless charging capability.
One small US company that's making charging accessible for Apple Users is Seattle's Elk and Bear: Handpicked. With classic millennial disregard for what the ‘giants' are doing, Elk and Bear began distribution of its own wireless receiver case that renders iphone 6 and 6s Qi compatible , and they've been amazed by the demand. "It's been truly mind boggling", reports Mary Willings of Elk and Bear.
Over the past year, wireless charging capability has become the latest ‘must have' for the tech savvy – and now it seems, for everyone else too. With Virgin Atlantic offering wireless charging in Heathrow and Gatwick airports, Boutique Hotels integrating Qi wireless charging into their lobbies, and even car manufacturers and IKEA getting into the game, wireless charging is positioned to become the norm worldwide.
Qi (pronounced "chee") is a wireless charging standard built cooperatively by some of the world's leading companies. It is considered the gold standard in wireless charging protocols, and most phone makers have added Qi compatibility into their phones – but not Apple.
Enter innovative tech companies like Elk and Bear. Adapting an iPhone 6 or 6s to Qi wireless charging is easy with Elk and Bear's wireless receiver case. POWER by Elk and Bear is inexpensive, and doubles as a protective case. All customers have to do is install the case on the phone, and it instantly becomes Qi compatible, which is why Elk and Bear is scrambling to keep up with demand.
"We're happy of course" reports Mary Willings. "When we looked at specs for our receiver case, we worked hard to find a minimalist design that would appeal to iphone users while both protecting the phone and providing wireless charging capability. It was a tall order, but it looks as if we got it right, and now we're just working to keep up!"
So far, Elk and Bear has managed to stay abreast of demand, but with the US's biggest shopping season approaching, they are definitely feeling the pressure. "We had no idea the demand was going to be this high" Says CEO Leo Hamel, "We may have miscalculated, but we're doing everything we can do to get more product on board quickly. What we don't want to do is fall short on supply, especially at this time of year. We definitely so not want to disappoint."
With this Receiver Case, all iPhone 6/6s users can enjoy hopping in the car without digging through a bag for a phone charger. Available in black exclusively on Amazon.com.
