McDonald’s tables for wireless recharging
At selected branches of McDonald’s in Europe, smartphone users can now wirelessly recharge their phones while eating their meal.
Smartphones that support the Qi standard can simply be placed on a table, as the technology is built into the tables.
The manufacturer offers so-called PowerKiss rings for other devices, which can be connected to the smartphone via Apple’s dock connector, USB or DC adapter for instant, wireless recharging.
