around the same time as the next iPhones. Gurman also mentions
a fewinteresting detailson the AirPower and
problems encounteredby this one.

in June, but the apple firm had decided to postpone the

It must be said that the AirPower is a product that stands out from the others
solutions currently available on the market, because it is capable of
simultaneously charge an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, an Apple Watch, but also
AirPods thanks to a new wireless charging case.
Mark Gurman's sources claim that the AirPower runs with a

complex circuits, but also to be able to communicate with devices
