Kind of agree here. Travel convenience and having one product for charging would be nice, but not really worth a huge cost to me. I already have a watch stand and a charging pad that doesn't take up much room.
Got a tip for us?

That’s not funny.

That’s right.
And since the picture doesn’t show an XS Max, you can’t charge that either, right?
Because it isn’t just a normal charger, and it is one of the more elegantly designed accessories out there, it’s also luxurious and convenient.
I am not sure what you mean by flip? Can you elaborate? I was under the impression that the Apple Watch needs to be flat on it's back in order to use AirPower.
Very possible, if not probable.
That, though, I cannot see. $149 minimum, possibly $199. Apple don't sell themselves short on any product and this will have a fair bit of engineering put into it.
Or maybe the advertising was prepared to coincide with the launch of the AirPods wireless charging case.
I highly doubt it. Apple is charging $80 just for an Apple Watch stand. Apple charged extra for an AirPods wireless charging case. It’s going to be around $250.
And just because they show two devices, does not mean AirPower can charge only two devices........
Someone who gets it.

Where does it say that you can’t charge an Apple Watch on it?
There no iPhone XR in the pic, does that mean it won’t charge that either?
Yeah, that’s normal. It’s also not elegant, it’s a mess with cables. I don’t know what your lifestyle and Home is like, but I want nice, clean, simple aesthetics in my home.
Third-Party wireless chargers also can’t charge the Apple Watch.
The odds of this costing $99 are about the same as a headphone jack returning in September.
$199 is closer to reality, maybe $149. But even at $199 it will lowly be sold out for months.

Why?
I have an AirPower mat I just got from the Apple store.
I'm about to fly it to the Soviet Union in 2019 aboard Braniff Airways on a MD-11 into Stalingrad. I plan on introducing it to the Politboro this year for use on the Buran orbiter.
Along with freeze dried rainbow unicorn poops. Lots and lots of rainbow unicorn poops.

The only ‘hype’ you Hear/read about online on sites like this. I’m willing to believe the majority of average consumers have no idea what the Airpower even or maybe even have forgotten about it.
But the main advantage to the Airpower is you can leave the device anywhere on the mat, and it will charge, as compared to other wireless charging docks, that requires a specific contact point for it to charge.
Because the loop will more than likely block out the wireless charge, unless you decide to disconnect one of the Apple Watch bands.
Charging the watch with the Milanese loop seems like it’s going to be rather difficult. Just gotta let one end slide out of the buckle I guess.
This is literally a page about AirPods. I don't think you can derive that the devices it's capable of charging have changed based on a hidden media image that is mostly the same as the existing one on a page that does not focus on the Watch.

That’s not an Airpower. That’s a blatant knock-off.
Sherlock Holmes has figured it out guys!
Now I’m beginning to feel uneasy. If it can’t charge Apple Watch then it can not be one charger to rule them all and that will make it a LOT less attractive for me.
