    Today smartphones are slowly catching up with wireless-charging technology where phones are kept on a piece of an inductive pad, and the device starts charging. In case your phone supports “wireless charging”, and you forget the charger at home, these inductive charging pads can be your saviour. However, smartphone users have always wished for phones and other smart devices to have longer battery life than what technology provides right now. While the wait for such batteries seems to be distant, a company at CES has made it easier for you to charge your devices wirelessly indeed.

    AirPower Preview: Apple's next-generation charging pad... currently MIA
    AirPower was sneak previewed in 2017 as Apple's extension of Qi inductive charging, capable of replenishing up to two iPhones or an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. So, where is it?

    Maybe its scrapped because of battery replacements which are eating Apple's revenues.
