I think Apple needs to stop trying to make things super thin, This exact problem happened with the 2018 MacBook Pro, Apple should have just added a fan or two to AirPower
@@tanvirhaque9696 Samsung has some in theirs that only turn on when they get really hot which is practically never unless its outside in hot weather. Its neccessary especially when fast charging.
@Vincent Nguyen Cool vision but not that great tbh, Samsungs vision of the future is giving users the technology to do great things without limitations. Which I prefer the future where the consumers come first rather than looks
@@Lynn-zw7dr iPhones have exploded too, at least Samsung doesn't say, "our engineers have a way to make this" then cancel the product 18 months later bc they can't make a fucking charger work
I do not understand the big deal with wireless charging. First it is not wireless charging. True wires would be able to charge as you walk around. Second where ever you want to charge you need an expensive pad. Just plug in anyplace with a cheaper cable. And no exact placement as with the available pads. Yes I know some cars have built in pads.
I’m sorry, I understand that ppl are disappointed about AirPower going away, but I don’t get comparing the development of AirPower to Space X making a self landing rocket? It would make more sense if you compared NASA to Space X or Apple compared to another, much smaller company, that makes wireless chargers? Your content is usually pretty neutral, this one tho is leaning. Honestly, we don’t really know why it was cancelled. I honestly think it was kinda dumb for them to try an enter a very cluttered, well established, wireless charging market. And let’s be honest, it’s a wireless charger... idk what could have impressed anyone about it. Really, most RUclipsr’s would have been disappointed and bashed them about it.
Its because the power from one coil would be transferred to the overlapping coils causing a back feed of power that would be extremely difficult to deal with let alone extremely inefficient.
maybe worth pointing out that during the keynote in 2017 they did not say: „we make a product, that can do“, but „we want to make a product, that csn do“. In my opinion they talked about an idea their engineers had in mind. Very unlucky how they msde everyone want to buy that „idea“ with a release date plsnned for the following year. I think the animation shown when placing the devices on a Qi charger should still be used, as that is a very cool feature 😊
I have been waiting for the AirPower the whole time and I’m really annoyed how they just cancelled it and not made just a normal wireless charger with set spots for all the devices.
Thanks so much Daniel, because I’ve been so terribly curious as to what the hold up has been after all this time. I appreciate all the tremendous hard work you and your team put into the content you deliver...much kudos!!!
Good it’s pointless anyway. I’d never use it. If you can’t use your phone while it’s charging then it’s not needed. Hopefully they just jump to making an actual wireless charging, something you can wirelessly charge your phone while you’re holding it. Like a transmitter or something.
Ayon Haque Yea right now. It will get better but still. Think about it, I would rather have something continuously charging my phone while I’m at home completely wirelessly while I’m using it. Then have to set it down on a pad. Even if it charges slow it’s still better.
Looks at bit like the long discontinued PowerMat, but that requires a adapter device or a charging case or back cover. Wonder if there was any lawsuit.
Why does the number of coils matter? Surely only a maximum of three would be powered at any one time. It would be just like having three wireless chargers in a row.
Could not Apple make 3 moving coils (detecting the place where a device is located) inside of the mat instead of 25 static ones in the mat? There is no so much heat from 3 coils.
If it does not work then I am okay with them canceling it. That is far better than wireless heating gate, or wireless dead spots, or wireless can’t really charge.
If the convenience was to not even worry about where I place the product on the mat, I don't need/want to wait for an animation to let me know how much battery percentage said device has, specially when that info was already available on the iPhone before putting it down on the mat. Nobody is actually complaining about the actual chargers on the market. They wanted to over engineer something that shouldn't require someone's attention. The fact that they lied will simply put other announcements in questioning as soon as the launch is detailed.
The company was never “worth” one trillion. The stock market fluctuates, and that time it was PRICED over 1 trillion. That doesn’t mean it’s “worth” over a trillion Edit: it’s like buying a $50 bill for $100. Just because someone paid $100 for a $50 bill doesn’t automatically make the $50 bill into a $100. Point is, don’t base a company’s “worth” on stock market price. To do that you look at a thing called a Balance sheet.
ArifZainal74 Zainal Well Tesla had his issues also. He lived much of his life a hermit, dying in a New York hotel, alone, except for his amazing legacies.⚡️⚡️⚡️
good video... couldn't care less about wireless charging. I'm actually happy that Apple sets high standards and simply admits it failed despite trying its hardest to raise the bar.
It's better than releasing a product that doesn't work properly. The real problem is that a lot of people love to hate on Apple. If this would have been another company it would have been alright but it's Apple.
Like their proprietary charging cables, it wouldn't surprise me if Apple is working on a proprietary wireless charging standard. So if you wanted to wirelessly charge any of the upcoming wireless devices you would need to pay for the Apple charger.
I really appreciate the update & detailed explanation since I was wondering “what the hell Apple!” You do a great job of informing us. I liked the longer video. Keep up the great work.
I get that they wanted to cram a bunch of coils in there so you can place wherever and that way t was running too hot but SURELY Apple would be capable of developing some sort of sensor and software setup capable of only activating the required coils.
The energy would go into the adjacent coils, activated or not (that's how power transformers work, and the principles for those have been understood for over a century). Electromagnetic fields don't care how much a company wants to innovate, and even Apple can't violate the laws of physics.
I still feel like they should do “something” Apple with all that research. I can’t believe they will just abandon the effort altogether. I would love to get the AirPods 2, since I know and use them. I was a first available orderer and the battery is losing charged time.
They should have took some advices form Samsung, who puts fans not only in thier wireless charger, but also dex station (which is useless but worth mentioning).
Don’t say impossible when Apple has been making the impossible possible. That’s why it’s shocking that they would outright sink themselves with a cancelation of the product. Bizarre.
Even though air power was hyped up, I don't think canceling air power would ruin Apple's image because it's not like they're a wireless charging company. Apple's main focus is on phones, tablets, and computers, so if they hyped up an iphone then cancled it, people would be mad. Besides, the tech isn't ready for a 30 coil charging pad for early 2019. If this was like 2045, then maybe but we have quite a way before 30 coil pads are ready.
Yeah, exactly. Apple might invent the airpower they announced and badly failed in 2045, when other companies would be using truly wireless transmitting technologies in their phones or may no batteries at all. Also when Apple is no more just hardware and software company. They recently started their services (what a crap). They are losing their focus from hardware and software to services.
@@sunnyd7522 because phones are at a stand still. Phones aren't really inventive anymore. And with companies charging high prices, companies like Apple need to make money in some way. If they're not making money on their phones and tablets, they have to use survices. That's just common sense. Companies like Samsung, Xomi (or how wver you spell that company's name) do different forms of survices as well. Samsung has their own app and theme store and Xomi sell there own survices (I have no idea what. I just know about the phones). And Apple's survices aren't crap. I find Apple Music as good as spotify in an apple-esk way
This all is way too messy for Apple so I believe the AirPower was already in production, ready to be shipped BUT something major must’ve happened. From what I know, quality checks normally are conducted BEFORE mass production which means that AirPower must’ve been working ok at that point. Also, I doubt they would’ve had any problems with the software. This feature is already available on iPhones in the widget section. That screen shows the battery percentage for Apple Watch and AirPods whilst charging or not. What I can’t understand is why instead of having so many coils they couldn’t design just one big, round coil to cover the entire AirPower? Heat management issue sorted right there... 🤨
Let’s put this in words that make apple look horrible. “Apple, a trillion dollar company, let AirPower, only a two year old toddler, starve to death, a slow and painful death”.
All though it’s a bad thing to announce a product that’s not ready, and then cancel it . I think That it’s better then releasing it and it blows up like Samsung did with their Note 7.
Dan, please, don’t say that something would cost a lot of money. Apple has it all, but they have no vision of what they want to achieve other than 64 percent profit from a Device
Thanks for this in depth video! You'd think that this kind of stuff doesn't happen to a company like Apple, but they really messed up here.. They should just release a "regular" fast wireless charger - or a "duo" one like Samsung.
I dint really care if apple cancelled the big air power since the idea was impossible anyways (maybe not for air power 2,3). But what i do care is that they cancelled the entire wireless charging mat business, since its not like them to make a problem and NOT sell the solution.
I love Android not Apple but now they have got the name do you really think they have cancelled or do you think it will raise from the ashes as a surprise at release of the next phone but a different type of tech ?

I agree, he talks too much redundant stuff
You are the hero we need, not the one we deserve.
Any company, including Apple, needs to be careful when making new product announcements prior to any proof of concept in the manufacturing process.
WTF? 30 coils??? Those rays would have attracted Lots of aliens from far sunsystems!

Apple needs to make a wireless fast charger
Why would they? People would just buy any other brand anyways.
And give it a small cost of 500$
Apple belike guys we made a fast wireless charger its the first in the world for just only $200.
Apple: *Let's innovate*
Physics: *Not Today*
My 2 year old is a bigger headache than Airpower.
The problem was Xerox didn’t do it first, So they didn’t have anybody to copy.
It should've been introduced as a concept.

Jeff P. Well seems like a coil issue and possible overheating danger, Daniel is only saying it how it is, I love his humour personally and his wit. 😉
Its because the power from one coil would be transferred to the overlapping coils causing a back feed of power that would be extremely difficult to deal with let alone extremely inefficient.
If apple had managed to pull this one off they would have killed the wireless charger market for sure.
Pretty sad to hear that the project got cancelled! From your video, if they had succeeded, it would have been pretty cool!
maybe worth pointing out that during the keynote in 2017 they did not say: „we make a product, that can do“, but „we want to make a product, that csn do“.

A “Trillion” dollar company can’t figure out how to make a wireless charger that they “promised” ....... just plain SAD!😡
They're not a trillion dollar company lmao 😂
Blah blah blah blah
Get str8 to the point.
Also something with the sound the wireless charger makes, it’s said that it can Diss activate pacemakers and hearing aids
I have been waiting for the AirPower the whole time and I’m really annoyed how they just cancelled it and not made just a normal wireless charger with set spots for all the devices.
Thanks so much Daniel, because I’ve been so terribly curious as to what the hold up has been after all this time. I appreciate all the tremendous hard work you and your team put into the content you deliver...much kudos!!!
I’d give my wife AirPods so she can hear me when I call her. 🤣
I thought this was Spider-Man talking about Apple products.
Apple cancelled it because no youtuber covers it. Not even the prototype or early leaks rendition got any hype.
Yes, finally someone looking through Apple's bs.
Good it’s pointless anyway. I’d never use it. If you can’t use your phone while it’s charging then it’s not needed. Hopefully they just jump to making an actual wireless charging, something you can wirelessly charge your phone while you’re holding it. Like a transmitter or something.
Curtis J Berger Jr. it would be wildly inefficient unfortunately. That’s even if they could pull it off.
Vincent Jones Companies are already figuring it out. It will be a thing soon you’ll see.
Curtis J Berger Jr. eventually? I don’t doubt it. Anytime soon? Not even close
True.
Look up “Energous power-at-a-distance wireless charging transmitter”, that’s what I want. Not a charging pad.
That thing charges at extremely slow rate 😂😂😂😂
Ayon Haque Yea right now. It will get better but still. Think about it, I would rather have something continuously charging my phone while I’m at home completely wirelessly while I’m using it. Then have to set it down on a pad. Even if it charges slow it’s still better.
You’re a little late.... *sarcasm*
How the apple falls from the tree 😄😄🤣🤣🤣
A simple fix is a sensor to determine which coil is needed, the others are turned off. They couldn’t do this.
Looks at bit like the long discontinued PowerMat, but that requires a adapter device or a charging case or back cover. Wonder if there was any lawsuit.
Why does the number of coils matter? Surely only a maximum of three would be powered at any one time. It would be just like having three wireless chargers in a row.
Could not Apple make 3 moving coils (detecting the place where a device is located) inside of the mat instead of 25 static ones in the mat? There is no so much heat from 3 coils.
It takes courage to admit mistake. I would rather cancel it than release a faulty device further damaging the already suffering brand
Steve jobs would have only announced the product if it works..
They lied at the event for airpower and what is this high standard they talk about.
Thank you, Daniel, for that post-mortem.
If it does not work then I am okay with them canceling it. That is far better than wireless heating gate, or wireless dead spots, or wireless can’t really charge.
Air Power, “I’ll be back Babies”. ;)
what if they did not cancel air power, but just said they cancelled it to stop people asking them
High standards?
You mean like you're keyboards on the macbook pros (since 2016)
And the thermal issues with the macbook pro (2016 and up)
It wasn’t a regular wireless charger , your making it sound like there is one that charges 3 devices and the devices can be placed anywhere
I’m still out here saving up for an iPad my shoulders are killing me with this textbooks thank God they have affordable iPads 😩
It’s Apple, they don’t want consumers to have what they want.
Damn thats true
I also heard it (harmonics)could interfere with pacemakers and hearing aids...
They can't do it till someone does it. They can copy it and make it work for them. No one did it so it won't be out.
If the convenience was to not even worry about where I place the product on the mat, I don't need/want to wait for an animation to let me know how much battery percentage said device has,

Apple did well cancelling it, avoiding what Samsung had with it's Note 7 fire fiasco, or whatever model was it.
The real question is why they thought they could achieve these technical feats in the first place.
I think someone try to impress Timmy to promised him they can do it, that’s why we need someone who knows about tech and not marketing like Timmy.
The company was never “worth” one trillion. The stock market fluctuates, and that time it was PRICED over 1 trillion. That doesn’t mean it’s “worth” over a trillion
