Same delay as the Beats X shipping.
Same delay as the AirPods shipping.
Same delay as the iMac Pro shipping.
Same delay as the HomePod shipping.
Same delay as P2P Apple Pay.
Same delay as unified TV sign in.
Same delay as iCloud iMessage.

Apple is a complete joke of a tech company. They throw garbage at the wall and just hope something sticks. The rest they scrap together or hope people forget about the product announcements when Apple can’t make their concepts come to fuitition.
That sounds exactly like Tesla. Apple is doing much better in comparison.
 
Why push options from Belkin and Mophie, and leave money on the table? They obviously knew it wasn't ready, so why announce it?

Did it affect your purchasing decision?

Lol.

When did the iMac Pro get delayed again?

Oh, and that whole “unified tv sign in” thing, you do realize that’s not Apple’s fault right?
 
It only works with Apple Watch Series 3, right? Which would be another letdown in addition to the circumstance that you need another AirPods case too...
 
Ooh look an Apple apologist! Mummy can I feed him?
Surely you can do better than that.

My first thought when I see something and don't understand why it's the way it is rather than how I think it should be is that I probably don't understand the problem well enough to know why it's hard. In this case, as already stated in this thread, it's not just "a slab of plastic with a chip or two and a cable" it's a custom extension to the Qi charging standard that needs to be developed, tested and then ratified - all of which takes time, to say nothing of the probably hundreds of other things that complicate this that none of us have the slightest clue about.

As an aside, it makes me laugh how quickly people can flip their opinion: when Apple never announced anything until it was ready to ship people complained that they didn't know what the product roadmap was. Now they're pre-announcing products and people still aren't happy...

you clearly have ZERO clue on what it takes to build a wireless charger that can charge all 3 at the same times which is something that currently doesn't exist. By your logic, one can also say, just strap a giant battery to a car and you have an electric car, whats so complex about it.
 
anyone know if you can charge 2 iphones with this pad? quote me please
not confirmed but pretty sure you can't as it will be designed specifically for one iphone, one airpod, and one apple watch which all have separate power requirements.
 
currently there is no wireless charging for the watch 3. Qi standard does not charge. this maybe part of the delay

thats stupid imo. they could make more money having it charge 2 since familys can put them around the house.
