iPhone and Wireless Charger

3D Model

As part of the course “Digital Collections I” from the MA “Media and Digital Cultures” at University of Maastricht, the student Cristina Turbatu has created this model of a smartphone on top of a wireless charger.

In the last two decades, smartphones have rapidly evolved and are now an essential item for most people. A smartphone is not only a phone, but also a camera, computer, navigation and so much more combined in one. Phones can reflect the personality of its owner – whether it be through the preferred brand of phones, the colour or the case one uses.

Charging cables for phones create a barrier in flexibility when it comes to spontaneously using the phone. For many people – especially when they are in homeoffice – a wireless charger is of great importance. The phone is charging without a cable, which makes it easy to use the phone freely, without having to plug the cable in and out multiple times in a short time span.
