'Inductive charging borrows Nikola Tesla's idea of wireless power transmission' - no, it uses Michael Faraday's discovery of electrical induction.

Good, but no cigar

It's interesting, but it's possible that some of the effect is due to the novelty factor - most people with an 6 plus and an iPad will have had the iPad significantly longer.
