In recent years, Apple seems to have tired of leaks ruin all the magic that the keynote once had and has decided to advance the presentation of some of its products before they are leaked to the media. The Apple Watch was the first to inaugurate this new way of announcing the company's products well in advance, being presented in September 2014 and reaching the market in March 2015. With the AirPods something similar happened, but the time between presentation and launch was only 3 months. The iMac Pro is another example of what I am talking about along with the AirPower wireless charging base.
If we read regularly, surely you know that the new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X release a wireless charging system, Better late than never. But in addition, the cargo box of the AirPods, has also been updated being compatible with the Qi load, although at the moment it is not available in the market, it will do so in mid-December. Together with the Apple Watch, Apple currently offers us three devices that integrate induction charging, a bad wireless call: iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch.
To charge all these devices, Apple introduced the AirPower, a device that allows us to charge both the Apple Watch, as the case of the AirPods and the iPhone jointly. Apple announced the AirPower charging base in the last keynote, stating that it would hit the market in 2018, without specifying release date or final price. Knowing Apple and its pricing policy, a policy that skipped with the AirPods, everything seemed to indicate that the price of this charging base would be expensive.
According to a Polish reseller, who has had access to the next products they will have for sale, the price of the charging base will be 199 dollars, a high price, but if we consider that a quality charger for our iPhone, already costs about 50 euros, and that we have to buy two more if we want to charge all Qi compatible devices together, the price seems a bit more justified.
A charging base where we can charge all our devices together, offers us a very large comfort, since both Apple Watch and iPhone must be charged every day. Now it all depends on whether this charging base, which should also allow the charging of any Qi compatible device, justifies the price at which it will probably reach the market.
