AirPower Pictured on Retail Box for AirPods Wireless Charging Case

Another reference to AirPower (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airpower/) was discovered on Monday, this time in relation to Apple's new AirPods (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods/) range. The photo below was sent to MacRumors and shows Apple's long-delayed wireless charging mat on the back of the box for the new Wireless Charging Case for <!---->AirPods<!---->, which Apple announced (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/20/new-airpods-hey-siri/) last week.  The image has since been verified (https://twitter.com/ChrisJCaine/status/1110296944226631681) by other Twitter users (https://twitter.com/tnologetic/status/1110331131780427776?s=21) who have received their charging case (https://twitter.com/12345678910osar/status/1110380909730000896?s=21) orders early.

The Wireless Charging Case packaging clearly shows the distinct pill-shaped outline of the <!---->AirPower<!----> charging mat externally powered by what appears to be a USB-C or Lightning cable, indicating that the yet-to-be-released device can be used to charge <!---->AirPods<!----> using the wireless-compatible charging case.

Apple launched its new second-generation <!---->AirPods<!----> on Wednesday, and customers who ordered them on the same day are expecting deliveries between March 26-27 (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/25/airpods-2-orders-shipping-delivery-tuesday/). The new <!---->AirPods<!----> are available with a wired charging case for $159 or with a Wireless Charging Case for $199. Apple is also selling the Wireless Charging Case separately for $79, so that existing owners of first-generation <!---->AirPods<!----> can charge their earbuds wirelessly using Qi-compatible charging mats. The new <!---->AirPods<!----> will be available at Apple Stores (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-retail-stores/) and select resellers later this week.





Last week, MacRumors uncovered (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/21/airpower-iphone-xs-image/) what appears to be a new Apple product image of the <!---->AirPower<!----> with an iPhone XS (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-xs/) and the new <!---->AirPods<!----> with Wireless Charging Case on it. MacRumors has also uncovered evidence to suggest that Apple has secured the rights to the AirPower trademark (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/21/apple-secures-rights-to-airpower-trademark/) in the United States.





Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple approved production of the AirPower earlier this year (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/20/wsj-says-airpower-production-approved/), and reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ming-chi-kuo/) has said the <!---->AirPower<!----> will be released within the first half of 2019 (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/23/kuo-october-event-ipad-mini-refresh/). According to Taiwanese publication DigiTimes, Apple plans to release its long-awaited wireless charging mat <!---->AirPower<!----> in "late March (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/22/airpower-launch-late-march-digitimes/)."


 


<!---->AirPower<!----> is designed to charge multiple Apple devices at once, including the iPhone 8 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/) and newer, Apple Watch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) Series 3 and newer, and <!---->AirPods<!----> when they are placed in the new optional wireless charging case.
