In today’s increasingly fast-paced society, every minute wasted is a segment of life that will never get returned. There’s simply no time to wait around for something like a smartphone or iPad to charge. The chargers on the market just don’t cut it – which is why one YouTube video hopes to test out a new charger for an Apple iPhone. Here are five things to know about it.
1. A SONG OF APPLE AND FIRE
The answer to a new Apple iPhone charger might just be found in the flames. You now how Smoky the Bear is always saying don’t play with fire and all that nonsense? Well, he was wrong. He’s a bear, what could he possibly know about charging a smartphone? Not only is it completely safe if you use some common sense, but it actually works.
2. A SUSTAINABLE IPHONE CHARGER ON THE GO
Before you go throwing your Apple iPhone into the fire thinking it will charge, keep reading. The secret of this wizardry lies within the technology. This charger is a lightweight, portable device that uses the heat from a fire to charge your devices. This is ideal for one that needs a sustainable, electricity-free way to charge out in the woods. Camping is just not the same without access to your smartphone, so don’t let it die out there.
3. IT’S NOT THAT FAST
Ok, so perhaps the introduction may have been a bit misleading. It may seem that a fire charger means charging your Apple iPhone in mere seconds but that’s hardly the case. It turns out that charging a device with this method is pretty slow. However, that can be turned into a positive. Use the extra time to sing an extra round of Kumbayah or make a few dozen more s’mores. Ignore those Tinder notifications for a few more minutes.
4. IT’S NOT LIMITED TO SMARTPHONES
If you’re the kind of person who brings an Apple iPhone out into the wilderness, then surely there are more devices you’ve brought along. The GoPro, Bluetooth sex toy, personal ping-pong trainer, and iPad Pro are all going to need a charge. Thankfully, the fire charger does not discriminate. It can charge pretty much anything that hooks up to USB. Go crazy.
5. USE ANY HEAT SOURCE
So you just happen to be one of those people who listen to Smoky the Bear. “Fires are bad!” you say while your friends shiver in the woods. It’s alright, this device doesn’t need a fire to charge per say. Any heat source will do, however, fires are cooler, so man up.
