The Wireless Charging platform can be used to charge up to three devices at the same time. Up to 15W of charging power can be provided by the mat.
Pre-orders for the mat are open and shipping will start in February.
It's likely that the charging mat is part of the company's larger product strategy, which has included products as varied as tequila and a phone charge. The design of the mat is inspired by the upcoming Cybertruck byTesla.
Apple scrapped plans for AirPower because it didn't meet the company's standards.
AirPower was designed to charge three products at the same time, but with different methods of charging. The Apple Watch isn't compatible with the wireless charging platform ofTesla.
In a statement to Insider, Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, said that they are committed to push the wireless experience forward.
Although Apple has delayed the release of products that aren't up to its standards, a full-on cancellation is a rare occurrence.
The device's multi-coil design was speculated to be "too hot" by a well- connected Apple blogger. It was reported that the coils were overheating because they were too close to each other.
The technology behind another AirPower competitor back in 2020 was created by FreePower.
The closest thing Apple has released to its original vision is the MagSafe charging station. The magnets are used to charge the phones.
