YouTube channel 91Tech shared a video in which he examined the prototype of Apple AirPowe, which was expected to be presented to users years ago but disappeared suddenly. The video explains a little bit why Apple suddenly had to cancel this project.
Apple’s AirPower, the wireless charger introduced with the iPhone X, was expected to go on sale in 2018. However, no matter what happened, AirPower, which can charge iPhone, Apple Watch or AirPods at the same time, suddenly vanish had pressed. The persistent unanswered questions about AirPower during Apple’s launches showed that there were serious problems in the development process of the device.
The prototype of AirPower, which was treated as a stepchild by Apple and was asked whether it will be released this time by filing a patent application in 2019, but announced that Apple officially gave up because it could not meet the quality standards in the same year, was examined in detail by a YouTube channel. Let’s take a look at AirPower’s review video together.
This is the first time AirPower has been studied in such detail.
AirPower was designed so that users could place an iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch on any part of the mat to charge the device. Unlike other wireless chargers multiple devices at the same time AirPower, which can charge, was designed so that an iPhone that is charging on it can also display the charging status of other devices placed on the pad.
Videos and images of the AirPower prototype have been shared on other YouTube channels before, but the video shared by 91Tech has been so far. the most detailed It’s AirPower video. One of the most striking points of the video is that the AirPower prototype is revealed in all its details and nakedness.
AirPower failed to start
Although the prototype is not functional in the traditional sense, the channel that shared the video is on Mac. It was able to connect to the device via the terminal, but errors on the first startup of AirPower indicate that the device has never been calibrated to date and possibly never used is showing. After removing the part on the AirPower, the AirPower has 22 coils We can see that it is.
The person shooting the video tries to operate the device, but is unsuccessful in this regard. Then he takes a different Apple device and tries to run it again. Even if the device, which has no prototype after 2017, does not work in any way. developed in 2017 or earlier it’s understandable.
For years Apple’s Type-C or fully wireless charging Wondering if it will pass. Apple, which has taken important steps on Type C, is still He works for charging solutions like AirPower. is also claimed.
