It didn't work. Apple stated they couldn't manufacture the thing. This was due to the fact that it heated up and became dangerous. It didn't meet Apple's "high standards" because burning people's homes to the ground isn't good for their reputation.
You don’t need to make crap up, it just makes you look like someone that likes to post Apple-hate, and makes up foolish statements.
You don’t know it heated up, you don’t know it was dangerous. As to standards, not burning down the house is the lowest standard one might imagine.
An example of a high standard would be being able to actually place it anywhere and have it charge, as advertised. Who knows, maybe there were dead spots and to Apple, it wasn’t acceptable to have to move the phone 1/4” to have it charge. Other companies would have shipped it anyway, and just put an extra sentence in the owners manual “If your devices fails to charge, move it slightly from its current position.” Sorry, not good enough for Apple.
Yup, they shouldn’t have pre-announced and they’re going to get raked over the coals for having done so... that’s to be expected; have at it and have fun. But don’t play dumb and try to pretend Apple was just trying to do what “various Chinese companies” have already done. Those Chinese companies make low-tech, specific placement chargers, not a random placement charger—and you know it.
Claiming “AirPower didn't offer anything new when it was announced aside from being able to charge multiple devices at the same time” is nearly the same trolling-level crappost as your “iPhones don’t do anything different from Androids but cost 5 times more” post.
