iFixIt is offering up what it calls an “informed guess” about Apple’s abrupt AirPower cancelation. The product most likely couldn’t meet stringent US and EU interference regulations because Apple amped up the power too much and couldn’t control the signals the device was giving off.
The organization makes a compelling case. Where existing wireless chargers require the user to adjust a phone or other device until you find the “sweet spot” for charging, Apple was trying to create a large charging surface that worked equally well everywhere. This would allow AirPower to charge multiple devices at once, from any place on the charging mat.
Apple likely succeeded at creating such a product. The problem, of course, is that it gave off too much electronic interference, which is both illegal and could have serious health…
