Back in 2017, during the launch of iPhone X, Apple first announced the new Apple-designed AirPower mat, a wireless charging solution that can charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously.
The AirPower wireless charger will sport a record 22 charging coils. This would allow users to simply place their device anywhere on the mat and have it start charging, without having to position it precisely. Most wireless chargers only have 2-3 charging coils for the same purpose, making Apple’s approach unusual. Due to Apple’s ambitious design decision, AirPower launch got delayed by more than 2 years.
Recently, it was reported online that Apple AirPower is finally coming. Apple’s manufacturing partner Luxshare Precision has already started the production of Apple AirPower wireless charging mat. When it becomes available, Apple AirPower will cost $150 and will be compatible with all Qi wireless charging standard devices.
