6 AirPower and AirPods
At this point, it’s not a stretch to theorize that something is significantly wrong with Apple’s AirPower wireless charging mat.
The first-party accessory was debuted over a year ago. And yet the device failed to make an appearance at what is likely Apple’s last keynote event of the year.
Apple did not even mention AirPower at its event or give any sort of update, which could indicate that it’s still experiencing severe technical or engineering problems with the device.
It’s not clear when — or if — AirPower will actually launch, but Apple is quickly running out of time to debut the device in its original 2018 timeframe.
There is also a rumored update to AirPods in the works, but since the main feature of that refresh is an AirPower-compatible wireless charging case, the company may be holding off until it debuts AirPower.
