So, the world is coming to an end.
Smartphone users who just can't handle the thought of their iDroidberrys shutting off because they get a little overheated, GM has a solution for you. The automaker announced a feature in upcoming 2016 Chevrolet Malibus and Impalas that will cool the phone while charging on the wireless mat before it turns itself into a hot brick of glass, plastic and metal.
Finally, engineers at GM got my letter.
According to GM, the vent will only operate when the vehicle's heating or cooling system is on. The system works by placing an air vent on the mat, because that makes the most sense.
The feature will also be installed in Chevrolet Cruze and Volt models equipped with the wireless charging mat. For those of us who don't spring for the wireless charging feature — or don't plan on buying a Chevrolet soon — we'll have to continue living in the Mesozoic Era with our nuclear-hot iPhone 6 Pluses.
