Apple's Qi charging mat is supposed to be able to charge several devices at the same time - the charging station was introduced in September 2017.
AirPower allows you to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch and the AirPods charging case at the same time. During charging, the user is free to place the device in any position – there is no need to stick to a specific zone. This flexibility is made possible by installing over 20 power coils.
Last week, Apple removed all information about the charging mat from its own homepage. Has Apple buried the project? Fans all over the world are asking this question. Then suddenly new details emerged. According to insider information, Apple is having problems with overheating during charging, among other things. Now there is a sign of life.
The quick start guide in the iPhone Xs packaging still recommends Apple AirPower. In addition, an update to the AirPower controls was found in the iOS 12.1 developer beta. These clues suggest that Apple has not given up on this project. Whether AirPower will be released and when remains unclear, of course.
