Rumours: Apple AirPower Finally in Production

Apple’s long-delayed AirPower wireless charging mat might finally be in production, that is if you want to believe the rumours. This follows a tweet from ChargerLAB (via MacRumors), which says that it’s learned from a “credible source” that Apple has begun manufacturing the long-delayed wireless charging mat.

If true, it could mean consumers do not have to wait much longer. Apple announced in September 2017, that it was introducing wireless charging capabilities in with the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, and gave a preview for its own wireless charging mat that would not only charge the iPhone, but its Apple Watch and AirPods. No pricing was announced, only that it was expected to be released sometime in 2018.

Here’s the tweet:

Breaking: AirPower is finally coming. We just learned from credible source in supply chain that the manufacture Luxshare Precision has already started producing Apple AirPower wireless charging pad. Luxshare Precision is also the maker of Apple AirPods and USB-C cables.

Apple has not said anything about the device in any of the major announcement events since that first announcement.

In June 2018, rumors surfaced that Apple was having technical troubles with the device, mainly that it was overheating – the complexity of charging three devices at a time. MacRumors noted that there have been reports that Apple has since overcome the technical challenges that it faced with the device.
