Apple has announced that it is cancelling its AirPower charging mat as it is having "difficulty meeting its own standards."
As reported by TechCrunch, the AirPower charging mat has reportedly had "engineering problems related to the laws of physics" and that it ran too hot because the 3D charging coils were too close to each other and "required very, very cautious power management."
“After much effort, we’ve concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project. We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward,” said Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering in an emailed statement today.
