Apple confirmed it wouldn't deliver on its promise of helping usher in a wireless future
Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, discusses features of the new AirPower product at the Steve Jobs Theater on the new Apple campus on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017, in Cupertino, Calif. Apple confirmed on Friday that it will not deliver on its promise of helping usher in a wireless future with an AirPower mat for charging its devices.
"After much effort, we've concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have canceled the project," Riccio said. It was heralded as part of a shift to mobile lifestyles less entangled by wires, and images at the project's unveiling showed AirPower as a mat where Apple's phone, smart watch, and AirPod ear-bud case could be placed together to charge without being plugged in.
Other companies sell charging stands or pads that can be used to wirelessly power up iPhones or other devices compatible with the technology, which is based on an industry standard.
