Photos of Early AirPower Prototype with 15 Coils Released Online

Online appeared Photos of an early working prototype of AirPower wireless charging.

This version received 15 coils, in later versions their number increased to 22. A reboot after a series of commands to initiate automatic calibration allowed a large amount of information to be read from the prototype. For example, the firmware installation date is March 17, 2017, commands for selecting specific coils, and much more.

The Kosutami insider who shared the pictures said that the gadget gets very hot, which confirms past rumors about the reasons for the cancellation. Charging works stably only if you accurately place other devices on it. But as soon as you move it a little, the temperature rises sharply, which can leave marks on the equipment.

And the AirPods Pro charging case even began to melt slightly at this temperature.

Apple subsequently increased the number of coils inside the AirPower in an attempt to mitigate the problem, but found that the higher coil density only made the overheating worse. No AirPower prototypes have been created since 2018 or 2019, suggesting the device was almost entirely developed in 2017 or earlier. There was almost no further development. [MacRumors]
