AirPower lives, maybe: Apple is still working on a 3-device wireless charger - Ars Technica

A newsletter from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman claims that Apple is still working on a multi-device wireless charger that would fulfill the promise of the company's long-canceled AirPower charging mat.

The newsletter that Gurman sent out yesterday claims that Apple is still working on a charger that could handle three devices at once—iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch—despite its failures with the AirPower.

Bloomberg previously reported that Apple was working on both an AirPower successor and true wireless technology in an article published last June.

In this week's newsletter, Gurman suggests that the new AirPower could use one of these new technologies—in other words, Apple could turn to a new technology to solve a problem it couldn't solve with a device that used the currently widespread inductive charging technology.

Since the cancellation of the AirPower, Apple has released some similar products, like a dual charger for the iPhone and Apple Watch.

The devices work well enough for the most part, but they still don't do everything Apple sought to cover with the AirPower.
