  1. AirPower is being replaced with MagPower in there feature Products like for example with a Apple Watch ⌚️ now there’s going to be a Battery charger case the size ration ⌚️ that you can place over your Apple Watch magnetically. Also MagPower will have extra Features like portability from the Matt+ mag charging station. Of a 9×6 size split into 2 battery pieces of 3*matt

  2. . This was such a simple device to make. For £99 bucks 😳

    All I would of done is use a triangular with my chip. A mini LED type tech in the AirPower that turns off the power to the dead coils. IE you make every bit of the AirPower device alive like a OLED panel and turn off the coils you don’t need!

    Simple

  3. I'm coming from the future and a company called Xiaomi has been able to make a real airpower but with 60w charging power vs 15w of the apple airpower and for a fraction of the price…🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. Marques watches too many Technology Connections videos and start doing his own videos about failed yet interesting technology products. Great videos, both of yours, BTW 🙂

  5. we will never have wireless transmission of electricity. How would you control people if they had free electricity?

  6. i imagine production team be like "yeah a million dolars bonus to the one who makes airpower works"
    a guy who will be facing a divorce by march 2019: "yeah i can do it"

  7. “i guess it’s pretty apple like that they would rather cancel than make a new pad” didn’t age so well

  8. Moral of the story. Don't announce a product until you know for sure it works and is safe. Seems like Silicon Valley still hasn't realized this.

  9. Here's the thing though, Marques. Qi charging was introduced with the iPhone 8 models and iPhone X…which were announced at that event…which weren't in the hands of customers yet…which means current iPhones didn't have Qi charging! In the clip you showed, those were 7 or 6s or 6 models shown, models that don't have Qi charging. So to say it didn't work with devices that don't event support the feature is something that was glossed over. AirPower didn't work for the other reasons you mentioned about overheating, not because it didn't charge incompatible phones.

  10. Bummed that it didn’t happen but good that they didn’t ship dangerous projects. Don’t worry they didn’t cancel the Mac Pro, you have one.
