Apple’s long-delayed AirPower wireless charging mat might finally be in production. According to a tweet from ChargerLAB, a “credible source” says that Apple has begun manufacturing the long-delayed wireless charging mat. The Verge reports: If true, it could mean that the long-overdue product could finally reach the hands of consumers before too much longer. Apple announced in September 2017, that it was introducing wireless charging capabilities in with the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, and gave a preview for its own wireless charging mat that would not only charge the iPhone, but its Apple Watch and AirPods. At the time, Apple didnâ(TM)t announce a price — only that it was expected to be released sometime in 2018. That obviously didnâ(TM)t happen…
If what ChargerLAB says is accurate, that could mean that weâ(TM)ll see more about them in the near future. The siteâ(TM)s tweet says that the devices are being manufactured at Luxshare Precision, which already manufactures Appleâ(TM)s AirPods and some cords. MacRumors translated a screenshot of ChargerLABâ(TM)s WeChat conversation, in which the siteâ(TM)s source expects the device be released soon. But given the chargerâ(TM)s history of delays and technical challenges, itâ(TM)s probably best not to get oneâ(TM)s hopes up just yet.
