Canceled AirPower Prototype Shows Promise Charging Apple Watch in New Video
-
A prototype of Apple's canceled AirPower wireless charger has been seen charging an Apple Watch for the first time in a new video.
-
AirPower was meant to charge multiple Apple devices anywhere on a charging mat, but was canceled in 2019 due to overheating and other issues.
-
The prototype in the new video has 16 coils and can charge a prototype Apple Watch Series 4, but it still gets quite warm.
-
AirPower charging an Apple Watch would have been unique since Apple Watches currently require specialized magnetic chargers.
-
Apple is reportedly still looking into developing AirPower-like charging solutions for potential future products.
