Silicon Valley youngster Pi on Monday claimed it had developed the world’s first wireless charger that does away with cords or mats to charge devices. But instead of cords or mats, the conical creation charges smartphones with magnetic waves. The founders said it took them over a year to figure out how to bend magnetic waves to find smartphones. “The hard part was figuring out how to make magnetic charging more flexible, multi-device and extend its useful range,” Shi said. The company said it will come to market with AirPower charging mats sized to accommodate an iPhone, Apple Watch and an AirPods earpiece case.
