In September last year, Apple added wireless charging to three new iPhones. Unfortunately, Apple’s official wireless charging accessory AirPower has not been listed. According to Bloomberg News, AirPower has to wait until this year due to various technical difficulties. Can be listed in September.
According to Bloomberg, the biggest hurdle for AirPower at present is how to solve the problem of overcharging multiple devices, because most wireless charging devices currently support the charging of one device, and the technical experience of the industry is still relatively lacking. In addition, Apple’s accessories It also needs to support the charging of any placed device, which means that Apple needs to deploy a large number of charging sensors, which will increase the complexity of the circuit board.
In addition to the hardware, engineers are also solving some software bugs, because in order to better manage charging and device pairing, AirPower has a built-in custom chip and runs a basic class iOS system.
