Even though Apple scrapped AirPower, its multi-device charging mat without even launching it in the market, it seems like it still intends to launch one in the near future. While we have heard similar rumors in the past, the latest information appears different. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman today suggests that the company is still working on the launch of a charger and this might not be like your regular inductive wireless charging solutions.
As part of Gurman’s latest iteration of the Power On newsletter, there’s mention of a new multi-device charger, which will be different from the current MagSafe Duo charging solution. For those who don’t know, MagSafe Duo includes 2 separated chargers hitched together to charge two Apple devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods) together. The future device might be more like AirPower, allowing you to charge three devices together.
To recall, Apple was rumored to introduce its wireless charging mat back in June too. Moreover, it also filed a patent for its reverse wireless charging technology, which will allow a MacBook to charge multiple Apple devices at the same time.
