In 2019, Apple announced that the AirPower charger would ultimately never see the light of day. This accessorypour iPhone et Apple Watchpresented with great fanfare during a keynote, however, had everything to please: a rather successful design, perfect compatibility with Apple devices and Lightning power. But overheating problems would have forced the manufacturer to abandon the project.
Since then, many rumors about the technical specifications of the product have appeared but it is often difficult to verify them. This was without counting on a new video fromUnbox Therapy, who was able to take charge of what resembles a prototypefunctionalof the device. We recognize among thousands its oblong format, which recalls that of the recentDynamic Islandappearedon iPhone 14 Pro and on iPhone 14 Pro Max…
Some intriguing tips…
Along with the machine, the creator who was able to test it also got his hands on key instructions for use. These explain how to use the charger without risking damaging it, which suggests that beyond performance concerns it is also fragile. Recommendations also indicate the behavior to adopt toavoid getting hurt, a sign that the temperature may be rising really high in some cases. Apple even specifies that technicians have already been victims of an electric shock, because of one of the sides of the AirPower with an exposed printed circuit.
No compatible watch
Another tip: only charge Apple devices with this AirPower, preferably oneiPhone Xor a pair of AirPods wireless headphones. On the other hand, don't expect to use it to power an Apple Watch: it's simply impossible. However, the presentation images from Cupertino suggested the opposite when the carpet was still relevant.
Of course, like the device discovered byUnbox Therapyis a simple prototype,obtaining it will be a challenge anyway. It is also unlikely that the manufacturer would like to see its tests revealed in this way...
