Apple abandons AirPower wireless charging product https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47756055
I wasn't very close to this, what functionality was it supposed to offer over and above a QI charger? Seems a bit of an odd choice to have many of their products compatible with wireless charging but then decide that it's impossible to create a product to allow that to happen (particularly as Samsung etc do).

My understanding is that you could place any device on any part of the mat and it would begin charging.
You wouldn't have to put a device in the 'exact' spot in order for it to charge. Plus there's the whole iOS integration, etc
