Need more than that? Just stand under high tension power lines. Can’t carry them all while traveling? Just hire a Sherpa! All the cables constantly getting tangled up? Earn your scouting knots merit badge!
You laugh, but my Anker wireless charger cord and my "regular" charging cable got tangled this morning in my bag in a perfect square knot!
 
now the real question is, when is this going to be releasing? i thought it was going to be released today..
 
Wow people are easy to manipulate. Apple is not going to release a product today, maybe tomorrow or even next week. This is Apple marketing genius right here. They knew that by day 3 everyone will be expecting a product Thursday so they will hold it another day or over the weekend to have people drool over it.

Apple normally doesn’t like announcing things on Fridays because said announcements get buried in the weekend news void.

It’s why they usually save bad news for Fridays. ;)
 
It would be sad if it wouldn’t support the Apple Watch, but only for one reason in my case: I wanna put AirPower on my desk next to my workstation to charge the AirPods and iPhone. The Apple Watch s4 easily gets through two days and i charge it every night next to my bed anyways.
The only time when I need a charger nearby the computer and WiFi router, is to sync new music to the watch, and this is a real biggy.

Soo hope it’ll be possible. But instant but anyways if not, just for the AirPods.

I think they save it for the event, together with iOS 12.2.
 
AirPower would be nice for the Apple Watch however, those with the Sports loop or similar bands would be out of luck.
 
This is just further validation that AirPower's going to be straight Qi. There's no Watch on there, so you can expect Apple to be working on getting Qi into the Watch form factor before it too can be charged by AirPower – and if not, well there's always release 2 of AirPower

I still don't see the point - I charge AirPods once every week or so, I already have a wireless charger for my iPhone and the charging stand for my Apple Watch on my nightstand and don't really charge during the day...so what is the purpose or advantage of being able to charge two things at once, versus just having two chargers?

I guess it is nice for travel assuming it'll still charge Apple Watch/AirPods/iPhone.
 
I think i'm still in if they reduce the concurrent devices to just 2, but if this won't even charge an apple watch, then I'm out. I want this as a one stop charging solution for my devices.

Apple should add AirPower to the store and slap an "out of stock" price on it. Tim could tweet "We love the demand but we can't speak to when they will be back in stock. Keep checking the store for updates."

Where’s the iPods, Mr. MacRumors?!

Also this AirPower is going to cost $250 I bet. Ouch. At least I’ve been saving up money for it.
