Summary
Our initial product is the iPhone X & newer. The initial product has wired and wireless charging but with this innovation, you will be able to share battery charging through bluetooth and our app. Our app will work similar to Cash App and Venmo but with battery percentages that you are sending to your peers with low battery percentage.
