"Apple is working on new hardware that combines features of the iPad and MacBook, a patent filing suggests. The document, filed with the US patent office, appears to depict a hybrid device with a detachable screen that draws power wirelessly from the base unit.  &amp;quot;When the display is at least in one position with respect to the base, the power source transmits power to the power transition member of the display,&amp;quot; the filing explains. The patent indicates that Apple is exploring the possibility of combining its iPad and MacBook products, but CEO Tim Cook has dismissed this notion in the past.   &amp;quot;Anything can be forced to converge, but the problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left doesn&amp;#039;t please anyone,&amp;quot; he told CNET in a 2012 interview. &amp;quot;You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user.&amp;quot; Apple is widely believed to working on brand new products at present, including the rumoured iOS-powered smartwatch.
