Rumors that Apple is working on a new charging mat have been circulating since the beginning of this year. Now a video has surfaced that could show an unknown wireless charging puck for the iPhone.
After Apple launched the AirPower project in March 2019 had to give up, there was silence on the subject for several months. Around a year later Reports have been documented that the company is now working on a new wireless charger that is said to be "less ambitious." A video has now been sent to 9to5mac sent, which shows an unknown wireless charging puck for the iPhone that could have come from Apple. However, this cannot be verified with certainty. The missing Apple logo could mean that it is either a covert prototype or that the product comes from a third-party supplier. Neither of these can be ruled out at this time. Of course, it could also be an internal Apple product that is not intended for the public at all - regardless of the lack of branding.
iPhone 12 is said to be equipped with circular magnets
Previous reports have also hinted at an accessory that roughly matches this product. The new AirPower-like charging mat is said to be smaller and have fewer features. There is also another clue that is likely to fuel speculation. In August, it was reported that the iPhone 12 could be equipped with a circular arrangement of magnets, perhaps in an effort to facilitate wireless charging similar to the Apple Watch. In this case, this puck would fit the bill. By and large, none of this can be confirmed, but neither can it be ruled out. So we should view this video with skepticism. If there are any further details, we will report on them as always. (Image: Apple)
