There are not many Apple products that remain at the PPT level after the release. The AirPower wireless charging board is a recent example.
Apple introduced AirPower for the first time in the autumn new product launch conference in September last year. However, one year has passed, and our expectation for this product is only at the vague promise of '2018'.
According to Sonny Dickson, citing Apple’s insiders, There are three major problems with AirPower.
The first is that the heat is too high (internal coil), which reduces the charging rate and is transmitted to the powered device. The second is that the chip designed by Apple for the charging board has a high heat; the third is responsible for reporting between the charger and the powered device. There is a problem with the power of the software, resulting in inaccuracies.
Earlier we learned that Apple designed 21 to 24 stacked induction coils inside AirPower, which allows up to three devices to be charged simultaneously at any position on the surface. However, such a solution seems to be very practical but builds It's quite complicated.
Sonny revealed that Apple may even use the AirPower logo on a device that was previously different.
In October, Apple may have an event about the iPad Pro and MacBook Air. I don't know if there will be AirPower news at that time.
