Apple (AAPL, $191.24) scraps AirPower project, a wireless charger touted since 2017
Tech giant Apple confirmed on Friday that the company has concluded its plans to cancel AirPower charger, a wireless charging system that was first announced in 2017. Apparently, it could charge Apple products, the iPhone X and iPhone 8 - the first Apple phones to support wireless charging, by simply placing the devices on the mat.
This came as a shock to many as Tim Cook himself touted its launch.
It is believed that the product never made it to the shelves owing to the lack of the product’s promise to meet the high standards of Apple.
However, Apple users can still wirelessly charge their devices using charging mats from other makers that use the Qi wireless charging standard.
On the other hand, Apple is also making headlines through its other offerings like its forthcoming video service, TV+, as well as a new version of AirPods with wireless charging capability.
