Chinese smartphone vendor Xiaomi announced the Mi Air Charge technology, a long-distance wireless charger that can recharge handsets several feet away. The tech localizes a phone in the room and then beams waves to it to recharge the battery at 5W speeds.
Vaporware is defined as ”a computer-related product that has been widely advertised but has not and may never become available.” It can be anything, hardware or software. Some companies constantly engage in vaporware announcements, announcing technology that isn’t immediately available for purchase, or tech that needs several years to mature into a product that anyone can purchase. That’s what Xiaomi practically did on Friday, with a product that promises the wireless charging tech that we’ve been dreaming of. “This is a revolutionary innovation of wireless charging,” Xiaomi explains in its announcement, adding that “it’s not science fiction, it’s technology.” But it’s technology you can’t buy now or in the very near future. There’s no telling when the Mi Air Charge will be available either. It’s exciting vaporware.
