"Solar Powered" Patent filed; Your next iPhone might never need charging


It's the news millions of Apple fans have been waiting for – an iPhone that never runs out of juice.

According to 9to5 mac, Apple is working on a concept to place solar technology under the screen.

This would allow the iPhone to get a constant charge from the sun and avoid you having to ever go near a plug again.

Apple has already applied for a patent on this new tech and, in the future, it could charge all of its products including the Macbook and iPads.
