Phone charging has always been a problem for manufacturers and users of smart devices, as manufacturers often dispense with features that they can add in their devices, and the reason is often due to the effect of the feature on the battery. Battery charging will always be a nightmare, and although we have seen super charging technologies such as Qualcomm 3.0 technology, which charges from zero to 80% in half an hour, it remains exclusive to limited devices and under certain conditions. Of course, there are solutions to these problems such as power banks and wireless charging, which I personally consider a shortage and not an addition, but there must be wires in the charging process, so how can companies change the charging cables?

Various shape of charging cables with ASAP

ASAP is an Australian startup with ambitions to change the idea of ​​wire charging. The product idea is based on separating the charger wire into two parts, the first part which will always be present in the phone and its name is the Connector Tip, the other part which is a magnetic wire and its name is the Connector Cable, the magnetic wire is coated, which allows bending the wire up to 180 degrees without affecting the wire.

ASAP provides two types of Connector Tip, the first called Alpha tip, which is intended for Apple devices, and the other is called MicroUSB, which is intended for Android and Windows devices, and the cables work efficiently and at high speed in transferring and synchronizing files.ASAP Connector

Note: The company provides the same wire shape for iPhones and Android devices, but the same cable does not work on all devices, meaning that the iPhone cable cannot be used and connected to an Android device, and vice versa as well.

ASAP magneticThe magnet used in the wire was N52 neodymium, which is the strongest commercial magnet ever discovered. This will allow the wire to be connected in the correct position for it, even if the device is facing exactly opposite the wire.

One of the advantages of the product is that it helps you in many times, because the power of magnets helps you to connect the phone even in the absence of lighting. Also, it will help you to bring the phone if it gets caught in a confined space. You can connect the wire to any side, and it is not required to connect it in a specific direction. A favorite feature for me is that there is nothing to damage in the charger, as even the piece that is connected to the phone will always be inside the device.

The company also provides another product, which is a transformer - the previous image -, and you can use it by connecting the adapter in the regular wire, and inserting the Connector Tip into the device, and it will also work with magnets, but one kind of another. Therefore, the company strongly recommends getting the wire instead of the adapter because The regular wire is heavier than their wire, which may cause the wire to separate while using the device.

The product has several certificates of industry quality and final product quality such as FCC, CE and ROHS, which makes it reliable.

ASAP Connector comes in 4 colors, which are silver, gold, pink and gray. This product is featured on Indiegogo for $ 15 and has a 2-year warranty. On July 325, the product makers raised $ 846, which is XNUMX% of the required amount. The product will be available for shipment next October, that is, after two months.

Comment from iPhone Islam

The idea of ​​the attachment is not entirely new, but it is great to pay attention to the quality significantly in it, as well as the use of very strong magnets to connect it. But the disadvantage of these products is that they mainly play on the Micro cable and also Apple's and seek to solve their problems. But with companies heading to USB C in their top phones such as "Google - HTC - LG - Xiaomi" and perhaps Samsung will join them tomorrow with a Note 7 and Apple next year in the iPhone 7, here the need for these cables will end and the journey to search for another Type-C will begin.

What do you think of the previous charging cable? Do you see the idea worth having?
