Report: Apple's AirPower charger delayed for a September release

A report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg delves on why Apple's long anticipated AirPower has been seen as AirVapour. Announced in September last year, many expected the AirPower charger, which can triple charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods with a special charging case.

AirPower (which should have been called Apple Juice, in my opinion) offers an elegant solution to multi Apple device users which need to be charged nightly. Creating a multifunctional wireless charger, it seems, is harder than many expected. Specially since AirPower aims to cater to three devices simultaneously. Apple will use the Qi wireless charging standard, but with a lot customization and possibly an Apple processor.

Samsung patent shows smartphone with almost bezel-less display and secondary rear screen

Samsung is probably one of the last (if not the last) of the big manufacturers to not embrace the notch. The company has been focused on developing its Infinity Display concept instead. A new patent shows that Samsung is continuing down this path and instead of slimming the bezels from the top, it’s doing so from the bottom and getting rid of the chin entirely (but the USB Type C port and what looks like bottom-firing speakers still exist). But that isn’t the most interesting thing about this patent. What’s more newsworthy is there seems to be a rear secondary display. The sketch you see above shows a possible application of this idea. You see the camera having to repositioned to the top left corner. The overall shape is reminiscent of the Galaxy Note.

But again, it must be remembered that patents don’t necessarily translate to actual design. And while it might take a while to figure out the rear display (or not, stranger things have happened), the front display implementation might be something in our near future.
