Double-Speed Smartphone Chargers

The LiteWire Dual Charging Cable Charges and Protects Data

— November 20, 2015 — Tech
Waiting for a smartphone to charge via the conventional method of using the OEM cable it came with is alright, but can often take much longer than anticipated; the LiteWire Dual Charging Cable is here to supercharge charging and syncing capabilities, while also increasing functionality.

The LiteWire Dual Charging Cable can charge your device at least twice as fast as conventional means without requiring any additional adapters or gadgets to do so. The split design of the LiteWire Dual Charging Cable allows you to plug in either a Lightning connector Apple product or a microUSB-compatible device or both, transforming one outlet into two.

Incredibly durable, the LiteWire Dual Charging Cable is designed to fit on your keychain and pop to action wherever and whenever necessary. Currently funding on Kickstarter, the LiteWire Dual Charging Cable is also designed with data protection technology to prevent theft and block malware.
Trend Themes
1. Fast-charging Technology - There is an opportunity for companies to develop more fast-charging technologies and accessories for smartphones.
2. Multi-functional Cables - As the LiteWire cable demonstrates, there is a need for more cables that can charge and sync multiple devices at once.
3. Portable Charging Solutions - Opportunities exist for companies to create more portable and durable charging solutions that can be conveniently carried by users.
Industry Implications
1. Electronics - Electronics companies could focus on improving charging technology and accessories for smartphones and other devices.
2. Mobile Accessories - There is an opportunity for mobile accessory companies to develop more multi-functional and innovative charging solutions for devices.
3. Crowdfunding - Crowdfunding platforms, such as Kickstarter, provide a channel for startups to introduce and fund new charging technologies.
