Real Juicy Oranges Used to Power Apple iPhone

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

This really was a case of apples and oranges.

We've all seen that school science-class experiment where a lemon (or other similar citrus fruit) is able to generate electricity, but have you seen oranges power an Apple?

UK marketing firm Imperial Leisure showed its latest viral creation in promotion of Jaffa oranges. The concept here is to build an iPhone charger entirely out of oranges. In the end, it took 2,380 orange slices to begin the charging process for the device.

Check it all out below.

Seems pointless to me, but then again it is surprising just how often the words words "pointless" and "Apple" go together

Want something overpriced, restricted and full of hype? There's an Apple for that...

Waste of perfectly good oranges. Why not use solar power?

Maybe this is silly but wouldn't it have made more sense to use apples?
