Biggest Surprises
3 AirPower
All of Apple’s new iPhone models, as well as the Apple Watch, are capable of receiving power wirelessly via conduction with the universally-embraced Qi standard. Though it’s an extremely useful feature that some Android users have been enjoying for years now, Apple just joined the wireless charging club on Tuesday — and surprise, surprise, they even threw in AirPower towards the end of the event to celebrate the milestone.
We were absolutely not expecting this and had no previous knowledge of its existence, but AirPower will nevertheless provide owners of compatible Apple devices a place to charge them all together, wirelessly, come early 2018 when it launches. Pricing to be announced.
