So iP8 and iPX are Qi compatible. AW at present is not. So anyone know if when AirPower is launched a firmware update will make AW Qi compatible? I shudder to think Apple is going to fracture the way different devices can be wirelessly charged.
Got a tip for us?

AW to gain Qi capability?

Doubtful. AW technically is using Qi, however Apple has tweaked the standard so that it is only compatible with Apple-certified chargers - thus their introduction of the AirPower Mat later this year. I suppose it might be possible that future generations of AW would be compatible, but it doesn't appear to be the direction Apple is heading in.
