AirPower: The Best Gadget Apple Never Made | WSJ 

JC Maldonado What a steal

Lol Now I’m homeless

l o l

And kills my entire family, yay!

JC Maldonado it doesn’t explode, it overheated

Heheh

hah. seems realistic, huh.

that would actually be their easiest problem to solve, different device draw different amounts of current and the pad could quite easily detect that and prevent devices from charging

Most likely

Very valid point, a very Apple thing to do. I also just think they know they can keep selling cord chargers that break all the time (maybe even change up the port again lol)

張泰銘 read the article. It’s trash

They had just acquired a company to do it, but it wasn't ready. And even if they did solve it, what if the final product ended up costing $600... that would be unacceptable.

@@WinterCharmVT Well, people paid $1000 for something that did the same thing as a $50 product.

@@jqyhlmnp The article he shared is actually very accurate. Engineers on RU-vid have disassembled Apple products and pointed out design flaws on the main board of them that lead to overheating (which is very bad), warping, or shorting of circuits, causing predictable malfunctions with the products. We're not talking with heavy use, we're talking the boards were designed to fail from day one. None of the engineers caught the basic flaw of balancing the power on the board, which leads to electrocution (overheating) and destroying the phone slowly. I'm no expert, but you can look this stuff up. Some of what they've done is just beyond shady. They promise more than they can deliver and then do a shoddy shortcut to get it done.

@@lbch_youtube Thank you for this. I've seen engineers going over shortcomings in the engineering... Its good to see a statement with all of that in one place.

Agreed. Although I don't like the WSJ this video went right to the point. No useless introduction, no sponsor spot.

Watch unbox therapy

Uh... How did this get on an apple vid?

*DON'T* watch unbox therapy if you want to keep your brain's cellular integrity.

@@manamanaman well he does do honest tech reviews, there's nothing wrong about his channel unlike some tech channels where all they talk about is how awesome apple really is when in reality they are the most non innovative "tech" company there is when all they do is copy Samsung! Unbox therapy is one of the most awesome tech channel there is on RU-vid

Koba Kobayashi indeed... thats why i dont believe in pr lol

Koba Kobayashi source?

@@sajedm9156 Here you go. ifixit.org/blog/14883/what-finally-killed-airpower/

Koba Kobayashi Did you even read your own linked article? What about ‘theory’ you don’t understand. They made a guess what could be the issue.

perrie x daily no

No

No

Yes

Me

kotryna right

Let's wait for the tech to be ready so that Apple can again announce the most courageous and innovative charging pad yet.

@@chlemtom1 when the tech is ready.. Some chinese company would have done it before apple..

@@chlemtom1 There are already companies making this. For example Logitech has one embedded in their mouse pad. Apple just sucks as always

Noel Modesto hey better than releasing a product that breaks when you open it.

The tech IS ready, there is a chinese company that sells them for about €20, its just that apple is too big into ripping people off, that they are trying to find the most inefficient way of charging to make it seem like its the phone thats the problem so you buy a new phone

Actually, I can’t because I’ve never heard of this dang chick.😒

They shoul5neber lied and and announced somthin5and failed to produce it all together...2 years they had.. it don't take 2 years to make something so simple... seems all apple and its fans has no common sense because you can't and nor will achieve this without a fan or air ven system hahahah...

Wow post malone

are u gonna live

Kalumrai no

Kalumrai the "word"?

especially hard to make it out of play-dough

Apple....a trillion dollar company.....expensive to make?

Red Flag Taken Apple spent a lot of money on it and still couldn’t get it to work

Ice banna or just another wireless charger without any special features.

i knoww

Samsung already has a charging platform thing like that.

@@sawyercunningham7658 not exactly, for once Apple actually tried to innovate. haven't finished the video so I don't know if it's covered but they tried to allow a device to be placed anywhere on the pad in any direction, a good idea in concept but terrible in practice die to the amount of coils needed.

give the tech a decade or two before it works better and it gets cheaper

LOL samsung had wirelesss charging WAYY before apple

Same

No

Or a coil made out of a magnet that would just have the opposite charge of the one placed in the phone hat would be on some kind of track in the shell of the device. Idk that might mess with the electromagnetic charging tho

@@apalmer12 Or even just a coil on a track, with a magnet, and a magnet in the phone. Why is apple's manufacturing so bad?

No bishop

Hi

Looks like they filmed the video then did the voice over later, maybe previous take didn’t work out... who knows

gif universe Yes 🤣🤣

True

Lololol

I wasn’t there like 2 different charging cables

Reuven Marvin because u need a coil to send and a coil to recieve. one single coil cant send to multiple coils because it would charge really slow

uuu Oh, thank You! I was wondering about the same thing!

@@kdk856 thx I did not think of that

you can only place so much coil inside of a phone, remember they need to line up

@@kdk856 someone paid attention🙌

i already have a solution, instead of circular coil, u coil around the circumference then work your way inside without having a bunch of circular coils

​@@Zetsuke4 It's not a coil if it's not circular. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, what you're suggesting won't work. The wires need to be tightly wound around each other otherwise you won't get the induction required to produce an electromagnetic field. Wires that aren't tightly wound will be just that, wires.

@Tyger That's not how physics works. Simply put, the inductor works like a spring. Which means it gets its properties from its physical shape. Unless it's that shape it won't work. Therefor simply increasing the voltage won't do.

@Tyger I'm not guessing. I have an Electronic Engineering degree. The coil shape takes advantage of how an electrical wave is just a moving magnetic wave and by coiling it basically makes the electrical signal act as though its stationary thus producing a magnetic field.

@@JonasHamill thanks for the explanation

This is apple we're talking about. They never cared about feasible costs for the consumer to begin with.

Some devices and furniture are starting in implement wireless chargers into them

What ? Why ironic? Samsung is conglomerate, which operates in different fields and produces products for different devices. It is a public standard so it should work either way.

@@Definitely_Melnyx because *Apple* is an exclusive butthead

@@gabrielblackwell3432 apple is for poor kids who think they have money

Tevin C Good to know that AirPods and Macs aren’t utilisable with Android.

@@ariparix who can't take jokes

They are not. Why? Cause it overheats. That's why. Even Samsung beated out apple and it doesn't explode like the Note 7.

Whell you have to have them aligned properly since it cannot charge something that is not on top of it (samsung got over this by putting 2 coils in the phone and 3 in the WC)

Except they can build cooling fans inside the charger but then it will heat up the room noticeably and fan noise will be there also quality control was gonna be huge issue. Thats why it got cancelled. Or maybe they needed to thicken it up then it didnt look quite Apple design.

@@DominickDecocko Oh yeah just pUt a fAn thAt wilL stop 32 cOils to nOt overHeAt111!!!

Only changing magnetic field can induce emf, so you need a coil to change the current and the magnetic field presented by the coil to actually induce current in the phone and charge it

Yasin Hasan You Indians hate apple extremely. It seems that you love samsung and despises apple.

@@Definitely_Melnyx im not indian. i also use ipad everyday.

u said the word form factor now i want to punch you in the face multipletimesveryhard

Michaelc136 uhmm it doesn’t. The charging indicator didn’t pop out, it’s the lock indicator.

It doesn’t matter

Square shape is not good for electricity movement, it builds resistance and overheats

Best comment. Congrats

Such a dad joke lol

A single magnet to align the device would be more than sufficient

Apple doesn’t force you to buy adapters. You are either with the times or you were not.

@@bobbyright2010 I don't think you have to work, study or go outside and interact with different people very often then

Igor Marcos because I don’t use 90s technology anymore??? Ok.

@@bobbyright2010 Your logic is so wrong. Keep letting this company milk you all the way

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Well I guess if some random troll with a very weak argument says so... it must be true. I am not worried about the price of Apple products. I have something called a JOB. try getting one too.
