the reason for the AirPower delay is probably that Apple is proposing it's modifications to the Qi standard to the Wireless Power Consortium. They are probably just taking forever to scrutinize the heck out of everything and be slow as gently caress like any committee. If Apple goes ahead without the standard being approved, they may not be classified as a Qi charger and other chargers may not support the devices/features.

lol no it's because they can't get it to work how they want apple doesn't give a poo poo about meeting qi standards. does it work with all your apple devices? yes? then it does what they care about. no android user is going to spend $150 on a qi charger no better than one they can get for $20

Haha yes Apple is making it SO AWESOME, it's just taking way longer than usual, just like the watch That's the only logical explanation, and not that they can't get it to work right

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Haha yes this reads like you obviously replied to the wrong post. but I'll expand on what I'm talking about anyway: Apple spokesperson posted:Apple is an active member of many standards development organizations, as both a leader and contributor. Apple is joining the Wireless Power Consortium to be able to participate and contribute ideas to the open, collaborative development of future wireless charging standards. We look forward to working together with the WPC and its members. Going a bit from memory here: but while the Apple Watch is not advertised as Qi-compliant, it apparently works with Qi chargers. I believe the non-compliant aspect is the size of the coil inside. Apple had to engineer a way for this to work in a smaller space. I believe the case is the same with the AirPod case. But perhaps more impressively the AirPower handles up to 3 devices, and allow the devices to communicate with one another. Phil Schiller posted:We hope people love it, that it encourages others to create more advanced solutions based on technologies like this. [...] Apple plans to work with the Qi standards team to bring AirPower's features to other charging solutions in the future. If Apple's proposals to the QI standard aren't accepted before AirPower launches, they may have to drop the Qi certification. They may then lose patents licensed to them by the Wireless Power Consortium. Worst case scenario, they then have to re-engineer AirPower that could hypothetically break compatibility with previous generations devices. This is just speculation. But AirPower was demonstrated working on- stage and to journalists. What's more likely: a tech company that builds smartphones with custom CPUs on a yearly basis can't assemble a wireless charger, or that notoriously slow consortiums are taking too long to approve it's new contributions to the standard and certify the product?

The former is way more likely. The latter isn't really how these industry standards bodies work (in that they don't get sent products they certify). And Apple doesn't have to print a "Qi" logo on their products anyways, so it doesn't matter what's part of the standard.

apple would just put AirPower under the "MFi" license or something if their implementation worked better than the slow moving industry standard acceptance

creationist believer posted:apple would just put AirPower under the "MFi" license or something if their implementation worked better than the slow moving industry standard acceptance no, this is totally different that what cable you ship with your device. the WPC wants tables in public places like cafes equipped with Qi charging. there was a battle between Qi and another standard to get Starbucks, McDonalds, etc to exclusively use their charging standard. they realized this would have been hell and both competitors joined WPC to standardize Qi. for Apple to come along and restart that turf war would be an exhaustive battle that benefits nobody.

i think pk has the right idea about there being some certification/patent grant interaction causing issues when it comes to apples wireless charging take, that is a hugely complicated ip landscape and they almost certainly need a lot of patents from other parties, and have a lot of patents themselves that they might not want to frand out there
