Apple’s AirPower wireless charger will likely be released later this year, for an unbelievable price

A year after the death of the AirPower wireless charging project project when it was never released, Apple is expected to revive the accessory. According to a recent leak from Jon ‘Jern’ Prosser, Apple may launch AirPower wireless charging later this year or early next year.

The launch time may vary depending on whether Apple is quickly finding a way to solve the overheating problem of this charger or not. But one thing is confirmed, that Apple is still quietly developing wireless charging projects, instead of completely canceling as stated previously.

Many expect AirPower to be launched alongside the iPhone 12 during the September event. smaller and AirTag tracking objects. Therefore, it is likely that if AirPower has been launched, it will appear in an event taking place in March 2021.

Currently on the Apple website is selling Mophie 3-in-1 Wireless Charger for $ 119.95, can charge both iPhone, AppleWatch and AirPods. However, the Mophie wireless charger does not have special features like AirPower, it is able to charge the device wherever it is placed on the charging dock.

According to the source, AirPower will cost twice as much as Mophie wireless charging. Jon Prosser believes that Apple will sell AirPower for up to $ 250. This is a very high price, while wireless chargers usually cost around $ 100 or more.

The AirPower prototype currently being tested by Apple is codenamed C68, the 68th prototype is tested, with fewer larger coils to prevent overheating. Apple has faced the biggest difficulty, which is the rapid rise in temperature when charging multiple devices at the same time, partly because the Apple Watch uses special charging technology. This new version of AirPower uses A11 Bionic processor instead of A10 Fusion, to help manage temperature better.
