Waleed Ahmed’s idea, which he and one of his friends came up with while sitting on a beach in Dubai, would make iPhone the first smartphone to become solar-powered.
“We thought, now is the time to be environmentally friendly, why not make a solar cover that’s easier to use than the universal chargers we already have?” The Herald Sun quoted Ahmed, as saying.
The idea already proved a winner, earning the duo over 2 million dollars and resulting in Ahmed being touted as “Norway’s Mark Zuckerberg”.
According to the report, the cases are already on sale in the Middle East, with negotiations ongoing between the Norwegian and Apple as well as a number of global phone companies.
