Almost a year ago, Apple officially announced thatcanceled the development of the charging base dubbed AirPower, a charging base that had been submitted a year and a half earlier, but which we had not heard from since its introduction. This charging base, we allowed to charge up to 3 devices placing them in any position on the base.
In addition, it showed on the iPhone screen, the current charge level of all devices that were at the base. Apple said that due to the heat dissipation problems generated by the base, and not exceeding its safety standard, it decided to cancel the project.
According to the latest rumor, Apple did not definitively cancel the charging dock and she continues to work. According to the latest rumor, Apple engineers are working on a charging base that dissipates heat in a more efficient way, it also states that they already have a prototype in which they are conducting different tests.
Apple introduced the charging dock in September 2017, at the same event to present the iPhone X. At that same event, he stated that it would reach the market at the end of 2018, but as we all know it did not arrive. In March 2019 the company publicly announced that it was forced to cancel the development of the charging base due to heating problems, stating that it remained committed to promoting the experience of this type of charging.
A few months ago, Ming-Chi Kuo stated that one of the new products that Apple would launch in the first half of 2020 would be a smaller wireless charging base, probably with support for two devices. Initially, that term would continue to be in force although it may have changed due to the pandemic, although it seems that this has not been the case in the case of the new iPad Pro.
