Whileof Internet users hope to one day see food arrive byinductionon their iMac, Apple could well - almost - prove them right. Indeed, in a new patent identified among the references of the USPTO (American institution responsible for their filing), the Apple brand's engineers describe a similar solution but this time for a laptop computer.

This is of course in no way any proof that Cupertino does indeed intend to market such a device, but it is ainnovationstill not widespread which could occasionally be democratized, as was the case for connected watches with the Apple Watch for example.
