Apple's missing AirPower mystery deepens

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Apple's AirPower charger, a multifunctional wireless charging dock for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, was announced nearly a year ago during the iPhone X launch. AirPower served as an ideal accessory for users invested in the Apple lifestyle, a singular place where they could charge all their devices wirelessly.

AirPower was conspicuously absent during today's iPhone Xs and iPhone Xr launch, even if these new iPhones can supposedly charge wirelessly at a faster rate than previous iPhones. Apple analysts also noted that there was no mention of inductive or wireless charging during the keynote which made it clear that Apple didn not want to go there.

Apple welcomes ‘entry-level’ iPhone Xr

Entry-level might be a contentious term to call an iPhone but the new iPhone XR definitely the cheapest one you can get from the new iPhones that Apple just launched a few hours ago. Pricing starts at $1,029 for the 64GB version and it goes up to $1,239 for the 256GB model (you get a $1,099 128GB model, too). This cheaper iPhone model doesn’t scrimp much on the specs. You still get a large 6.1-inch display packed into the form factor of the iPhone 8 Plus’s 5.5-inch frame. Its battery life is said to last an hour and a half more than the 8 Plus’s. And it even uses Apple’s new 7-nanometer A12 Bionic chip, which powers the more expensive XS and XS Max. It also features the design last year’s iPhone X made popular: a notched, almost-bezel-less screen. But this time it comes in more eye-catching colors: White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Coral, and a (PRODUCT)RED version. It will also support a dual SIM setup through nano and eSIM combo and run on iOS 12.

The Apple Watch Series 4 gets official and Apple is calling it the “intelligent guardian for your health.” The company has revamped its smartwatch and brings the first biggest change in the wearable since it first launched in 2015.

Apple takes advantage of this new bigger displays by allowing as many as eight complications on the screen for one of the new watch faces.
