The new AirPower charging dock might not be as complete as the original idea

The cancellation of a product once it has already been announced is a sacrifice for a large company like Apple. In 2017 we were shown a revolutionary new wireless charging dock they called AirPower. The complications in its structure, operation and production ended in the cancellation by the Big Apple. Although the reasons are not clear, many sources link it to an overheating problem. Nevertheless, Apple could be working on a new AirPower wireless charging dock with fewer features than the original idea. It is likely that we will see it in 2021 as many rumors pointed to its launch throughout this year that has been twisted thanks to the coronavirus.

A less ambitious but existing AirPower

To refresh the functionality of the device a bit, let's do a quick review. This wireless charging base allowed several devices to be charged at the same time. In addition, they could be placed along the base without a defined position thanks to its coil structure inside. For a few months, dozens of rumors have pointed out that Apple continues to work on the AirPower charging base. And more and more the leaks around this accessory whose release to the market was thwarted for officially unknown reasons.

The promoter of this new story has been the well-known Mark Gurman from Bloomberg known for its news in the Apple world. He assures that those of Cupertino are developing a less ambitious wireless charger than the original AirPower. When it is assured that it will not be so ambitious, it is very likely that functionalities promised in the original ad will be left out. An example of this is that this new accessory I would not be able to charge three Apple devices at the same time simultaneously.

It is likely that Apple has had to do without some key functions so that the structure of its interior is compatible with the quality standards of the brand. In addition, there is the possibility that the AirPower do not charge the Apple Watch. This is due to the charging standards that each of the Big Apple devices have. However, and by way of opinion, it would be a mistake if Apple did not get a wireless charging base that allows, although not simultaneously, to charge all your wireless charging compatible devices.
