AirPower (Apple)

Immediately after another media event held in September 2018, Apple removed almost all mentions of AirPower from its website.

On March 26, 2019, Apple shipped the Wireless Charging Case for AirPods featuring AirPower on the packaging.

[12] However, on March 29, 2019, Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, said in a statement emailed to TechCrunch: "After much effort, we've concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have canceled the project.

[14] Third party accessory makers mimicked AirPower's design and functionality but were unable to fully replicate Apple's planned features, such as freely placing devices.

[20] This is because devices such as AirPods do not have granular charge status indicators as they lack a display.
