New AirPods didn't make the cut at Apple's big event - here's what else Apple left out

Announced: September 2017

Apple unveiled AirPower, a mat that is designed to wirelessly recharge up to three devices at once, last year. Originally, the company said it would launch AirPower sometime this year. But Apple has said little about the device since first unveiling it.

In June, Bloomberg reported that Apple was running into serious engineering problems with the device. The company not only didn't mention AirPower at either of its two fall events this year, it wiped nearly all mention of the gadget off its website.

Replacement for: Current iMacs

Apple upgraded the internal components of the iMac last year and introduced the new high-powered — and extremely pricey — iMac Pro model last December. But it hasn't given the all-in-one desktop a thorough design overhaul in five years.

Reports, rumors, and speculation have suggested that Apple is planning on doing just that. Frequently in-the-know Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that the new iMacs will have improved displays. They also could include Apple's FaceID facial recognition technology, and almost certainly would come with upgraded chips, likely Intel's latest.

Replacement for: Current MacBook

With the unveiling Tuesday of a new MacBook Air, Apple's MacBook looks even more overpriced, underpowered, and lacking in features than it did before. There haven't been a lot of rumors Apple upgrading its consumer laptop, but if it chose to do so, it need look no further than the MacBook Air.

That computer has two USB-C ports; the MacBook only has one. It also has a larger screen and a faster processor than the MacBook, and a TouchID fingerprint sensor, which the MacBook doesn't have. And the MacBook Air starts at $1,200, which is $100 less than the cheapest MacBook, although the latter does come with a larger flash drive.

Replacement for: Current Mac Pro

Apple officials have said the company won't release the next version of its professional desktop computer until next year. Until then, creative professionals only choice for a Mac workstation are the iMac Pro and a computer the company released when Donald Trump was still best known as a reality TV star.

There was some speculation that Apple might give at least a preview of the new Mac Pro device this year. No such luck.
