CTOnews.com, March 29 (Xinhua) Apple cancelled its planned AirPower wireless charging board accessory four years ago, but according to MacRumors, a similar solution remains in the company's long-term roadmap.

Apple's AirPower, first unveiled at the iPhone X event in 2017, is a wireless charging board that can charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods charging boxes at the same time, and each device can be placed at will on the charging board. Apple said at the time that the accessory would go on sale in 2018, but it has never been released since then and was eventually cancelled by Apple in a rare way.

"after a lot of efforts, we have come to the conclusion that AirPower cannot meet our high standards and we have cancelled the project," Dan Riccio, Apple's former head of hardware engineering, reportedly said in a statement shared on March 29, 2019. However, the future is wireless and we are still committed to driving the wireless experience forward. "

CTOnews.com inquiry learned that Apple never provided a specific reason for canceling the AirPower, but previous sources said that the product was caused by overlapping charging coils in the AirPower.

In October last year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said in his newsletter that he still believed that accessories like the AirPower would be "finally realized," but it could be years away.
