# Wireless-Style Chargers The Geck is a Magnetic Charging Device That Upgrades Existing Technology By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-11-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-charging References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/gecko-magnetic-wireless-style-charging-mobiles/) & [geckogo](http://geckogo.co.uk/live.html) Wireless charging is a hot button topic in the technology industry as well as amongst consumers, but until the technology is implemented in a widespread fashion to mobile devices like smartphones the 'Gecko' magnetic charging system is here to offer a wireless-like alternative. Able to be used with [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable) and Android devices, the 'Gecko' magnetic charging system works by implementing a small dongle inside the connector port of your device as well as on the end of your syncing cable; when they are brought together, charging is achieved without having to physically plug in your device. Although the 'Gecko' magnetic charging system isn't exactly wireless, the innovation at work proves that the need for more convenient means of charging devices is sought after now more than ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wireless Charging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a completely wireless charging system that eliminates the need for dongles or cables. - **Convenient Charging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a charging solution that is not only wireless, but also requires minimal effort or physical connection. - **Universal Compatibility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a charging system that is compatible with all types of devices, regardless of brand or operating system. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate wireless charging capabilities into mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with tech companies to develop wireless charging solutions for a wide range of consumer electronics products. - **Cable and Connector Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink the design and manufacturing of charging cables and connectors to make them more user-friendly and efficient with wireless charging technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Technology Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnilink-360-pro.md) - [Modular Three-in-One Charger Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-magnetic-charging-dock.md) - [Miniature Wireless Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neatcharge.md) - [Magnetic Charging Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable.md) - [Wireless Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-device-charger.md) - [Compact Wireless Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-wireless-charger.md) - [Decorative Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricharge-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Magnetic Charging Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-charger.md) - [Alien-Inspired Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-magsafe-wireless-charger.md)
