Apple is planning a new magnetic charging bracelet for the Apple Watch, according to a filing seen on the FCC website.
The equipment is described as a “single frequency magnetic charger enclosed in stainless steel case with a two-pin cable bracelet” that comes with a “single inductive charging coil” which can power up the Apple Watch, according to descriptions in a certification test report published on the FCC.
It has a charging frequency of 326.5 kHz with a maximum power consumption of 5W when in operation.
It’s not the first time Apple has made a similar FCC application for the bracelet — one was spotted by 9to5 Mac three years ago — although the bracelets have been assigned different model numbers. The publication speculated the bracelet could be limited to use in stores.
