Apple, in rare reversal, pulls plug on wireless charging mat AirPower
SAN FRANCISCO - Apple on Friday said it is cancelling the AirPower wireless charging mat that the company announced in 2017 on the same day as its iPhone X, a rare public retreat for the gadget maker known for splashy product launches.
Furniture seller Ikea, for example, sells a US$60 mat that can handle three phones but it only features slower 5-watt charging. "We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward." Apple released the updated AirPods last week, heightening speculation that the accompanying charging mat would come soon.
