Apple Officially Cancels AirPower

[citysnaps]

BIGGEST FLOP EVER.

They still mention it on the new AirPods boxes but that's because they were manufactured back in 2018 and withheld so they could drain the stock of original AirPods.

All this is shameful, unprofessional and disrespectful towards their customers. So much for the customer being at the center of everything Apple does (as Tim Crook says).

If I had a company I would fire the responsible for this which ultimately is TIM CROOK!

Oh my... Such drama. Relax.

Life goes on. No need to come down with such a major case of the shakes over a tech company deciding to not go forward with a product.

I suspect in not too many hours the Earth will again rotate into the Sun's rays, and you'll be able to enjoy another beautiful day!

No way this is Not a joke!!!

If anything this is a neat marketing masterpiece at play!!!

Will be pre ordering next week

Google, Microsoft and Samsung have a history of releasing products that are not finished.

Or updated. I had to use PowerPoint the other day... it’s like software from 1990.

Do you have a problem with people asking questions?

I was trying to be helpful. Hire a lawyer. That's how you start a lawsuit. Heck. You can sue me, if you like. It's a free country. Good luck.

There will be I am sure... I have a single watch and iPhone charger from amazon works great but does need a qc3 charger. I am sure they’ll add a space for the wireless EarPods.. but the point is they are separate not overlapping so technically easy to do.

Until there is, I see no point in spending more money on something with wireless charging when there is a cheaper wired charging option.

Class Action lawsuit in three, two, one....

("I bought my AirPods with the understanding that I would be able to buy this here charging mat depicted here on the back")

I can’t see how that will work. Everyone is currently under the 14 day return policy and are free to return them no questions asked.

 

[psingh01]

Embarrassing to go and announce it when it was nowhere near ready. I guess they just wanted to spruce up that media event.

 

[outskirtsofinfinity]

if its unsolvable, how come there are other multi device wireless charging stations already on sale? Some the are aimed at apple products...? Some apologising for their incompetence!!

Those multi device charging stations are cheap crap. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Its not a joke. The announcement was made by Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering.

From what I can see.... you need to remove your iPhone case to charge it?

No. Normal cases (like the ones Apple sells—leather, silicon, etc.) will charge just fine without removing the case. If you look through the Nomad Base Station reviews, you can also see for yourself photos of phones charging with the case on.

Utter rubbish. Did they take your money? Nope. Original AirPods are not wireless so you are talking rubbish.

Wow, such a silly level of drama. Take a deep breath. Go outside. Enjoy the sunshine. Get laid. Relax.

I purchased an iPhone X and Apple Watch with the understanding that this product was about the be released. That was over a year ago.

'cheap crap' compared to non-existent crap?

really not sure what you're trying to say here. There are many different ranges of quality of device, from low end "cheap crap" to extremely well made devices.

or are you implying something else?

 

[unplugme71]

Queue class action in 3....2....1

Where’s my 45 cent check?

 

[aylk]

I can’t. I can’t figure out how this is scary or concerning. They were trying to design a product that had too many problems and they clearly couldn’t figure it out, so they cancelled it.

Modular Mac Pro could be next then.

 

[heov]

I was looking to get one wireless charger that would charge all my devices at once.

Are there other products out there that'll charge my Watch, Airpods, and iPhone all together?

Yes, of course. Here's a ****** one: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-JE-Charging-QI-Enabl/dp/B078MKF7Y8

There are lots more, higher quality ones, too.

But I'd personally like having a double one for my AirPods and watch, then a few single ones around the place for phone.

 

[Roller]

I suppose this is better than releasing a product that didn't work properly, but you'd think they would have determined that before announcing.

 

[comptr]

Anyone has any wireless charge recommendations? That will charge my iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods? I heard about the Nomad charging hub but was wondering if there are other similar products.

Anker has a similar item too: https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerwave--pad-with-watch-holder/B2570J21

Tim CROOK should be FIRED over this flop.

You need to get out more. Or perhaps go do something more productive with your life.

 

[Beenblacklisted]

Ok, make up your mind. One day it is rumored to have gone into production and the next it is cancelled and has always been cancelled.

there was no rumor of it going into production.

 

[s15119]

Tim CROOK should be FIRED over this flop.

Really. You should apply for his job. You got this

[cmaier]

My I simply say ... OH FFSSSSSSSS !!!! I wait for the damn AirPod 2s and now I can’t f****** charge them without a cable. Apple grrrrre!!!!!

Yes you can.

 

[thadoggfather]

“We cracked wireless charging...

Never mind.”

 

[Beenblacklisted]

Wow, this is actually a bit shocking as I can't think the last time Apple announced a product but canceled it unreleased. Someone lost their job over this.

apple maps. Well they should have cancelled it.
