The battery pack, which was planned for release in the months following the iPhone 12 launch last October, will rely on Apple's MagSafe system to stick to the back of the latest iPhones, according to Bloomberg. MagSafe accessories work by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apples-iphone-12-magsafe-charger-wireless-iphone-2020-10">adhering to the back of the iPhone 12 models</a> via a magnetic coil implanted in the back of the phone. Apple currently offers an array of MagSafe products, including magnetic wallets and cases.Apple already sells battery packs built into iPhone cases, but the new device would be a standalone wireless charger.But Apple is reportedly running into roadblocks with the battery packs, particularly when it comes to software: The iPhone will mistakenly show that it's overheating when the battery pack is attached. There are also issues when the user switches between using the battery pack with and without a case on their iPhone.These issues could result in the device being scrapped altogether, Bloomberg reports.A spokesperson for Apple did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. The company has experimented with <keyword id="1039422" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="wireless-charging">wireless charging</keyword> products over the past few years, including the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apples-iphone-12-magsafe-charger-wireless-iphone-2020-10">MagSafe charging pad</a> it unveiled last fall, as well as the <keyword id="10102400" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="magsafe-duo">MagSafe Duo</keyword>, which charges both an iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. But the company has also had a rare public flop when it comes to wireless charging: In 2017, Apple announced AirPower, a wireless charging mat that could charge up multiple devices at once. But the product never came to fruition, and two years later, Apple announced it was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-cancels-airpower-2019-3">canceling AirPower</a> altogether. The MagSafe system has also led to a few issues since the products were launched last fall. Apple has warned that the charging pad can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-warns-magsafe-charger-may-damage-leather-iphone-cases-2020-10">damage Apple's leather iPhone cases</a>, and that the magnets in the iPhone 12 and the MagSafe accessories can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-12-magsafe-warning-pacemaker-interference-2021-1">interfere with implanted medical devices</a> like pacemakers.

The company launched an array of MagSafe products in October, including magnetic wallets and cases, as well as the MagSafe Charger and the Duo Charger, which charges both an iPhone and an Apple Watch at the same time.Shortly after the accessories launched, Apple warned that the chargers could cause other issues, including <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-warns-magsafe-charger-may-damage-leather-iphone-cases-2020-10">damaging leather iPhone cases</a> or harming RFID chips, like those found in security badges or credit cards, if they were placed in between the phone and the charger.

The standard MagSafe charger and other MagSafe accessories will be available October 16, but Apple didn't provide a release date for MagSafe Duo, saying only that it will be available "at a later date." The MagSafe Duo isn't Apple's first attempt at a wireless charging pad that can deliver a charge to more than one Apple device at a time. In September 2017 at the launch event for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Apple's first phones with wireless charging capabilities, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-airpower-wireless-charger-iphone-x-8-airpods-watch-2017-9">Apple announced AirPower</a>, a wireless charging mat that Apple said would be able to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once.At the time, scant details were available about the seemingly revolutionary device, including how the pad would be powered, how much it would cost, and when exactly it would be released — though Apple said it would be coming <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/09/the-future-is-here-iphone-x/?afid=p239%7C10078&amp;cid=aos-us-aff-irf-ir">some time in 2018</a>.By September 2018, however, AirPower still hadn't launched, and <a href="https://daringfireball.net/2018/09/iphone_xs_xr_series_4_apple_watch_event">Apple blogger John Gruber wrote</a> that he'd heard of issues with the device becoming too hot due to its multi-coil design, which aligned with <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/29/apple-cancels-airpower-product-citing-inability-to-meet-its-high-standards-for-hardware/">a report from TechCrunch's Matthew Panzarino</a>.Then, in March 2019, Apple unveiled several new hardware devices, including updated AirPods. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/airpower-apple-wireless-charging-pad-airpods-2018-10">Pictured on the box</a> for the new AirPods was a wireless charging mat that looking like AirPower, which led to speculation that the device could be on the verge of finally launching. But by the end of that month, Apple announced it was scrapping AirPower altogether."After much effort, we've concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have canceled the project. We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward," Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, said in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-cancels-airpower-2019-3">a statement to Business Insider at the time</a>.While Apple has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-airpods-release-date-delayed-2016-10">delayed the release of its devices</a> in the past, canceling something outright was an exceedingly rare move for the company. Now, three years after its initial foray into multi-device wireless charging, Apple is making another attempt at a wireless future.

Apple just announced a new wireless charger that 'will be available at a later date.' The last time Apple did this, it ended up canceling the product.

The event guarantees us new iPhones, Apple Watch Series 10, and the next generation of AirPods. And while all the mentioned products now have a cult following, the roots of this euphoria can be traced back to the late 1990s. After Steve Jobs exited Apple in the early 1980s, some people believed his return to his Palo Alto firm would never happen. But as time would have it, Apple acquired Steve Jobs company ‘NExt Computers’ in the 90s. Eventually, Jobs became the CEO of Apple which was trying to rise up from the ashes in 1997. This is when Steve Jobs 2.0 came into the picture and we saw an onslaught of product development and marketing that set a benchmark for the consumer tech industry. This article traces the monumental products launched under Jobs' supervision in his second coming, products that have made Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world today. Apple iMac G3 - 1998 <div type="image" title="Steve Jobs with iMac G3" msid="112885615" hostid="261" sizebytes="24506" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Steve Jobs with iMac G3&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> After his return, Steve Jobs’ first mission was to bring the Macintosh back as the main character. And that's when we saw the iMac G3. This colourful new rendition of the iMac was introduced on May 6, 1998. The location - Flintz Center for the Performing Arts at De Anza College. Exactly where the Apple II was launched in 1984. Unveiled with the Hello text, which is now unanimous with Apple products, this iMac changed the fortune for Apple. The iMac G3 was an immediate hit with consumers, with 278,000 units sold in the first six weeks, and 800,000 units after 20 weeks. It was the top-selling desktop computer in US stores for the first three months of its release. iPod - 2001 <div type="image" title="Apple has reportedly sold 450 million iPods." msid="112885626" hostid="261" sizebytes="83856" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Apple has reportedly sold 450 million iPods. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> With the success of iMac breathing new life into Apple, Steve Jobs and the team decided to go portable. This time on a product that no one saw coming, the iPod. The iPod was the solution for music labels struggling to keep piracy at bay and consumers who wanted more songs on the go. In his classic manner wearing a turtleneck, jeans and New Balance shoes, Steve Jobs unveiled the iPod on November 10th, 2001. The pitch was simple, 1000 songs in your pocket. Thanks to its 5GB hard disk, a scroll wheel, and a display, listening to music had never been so hip. iPod paved the way for multiple generations and iterations most famously - the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, and the iPod touch. Discontinued in 2022, the iPod’s legacy still lives on. If we talk numbers by the end of its production run, Apple sold over 450 million iPods. Macbook - 2006 <div type="image" title="Steve Jobs was a pivotal part of the revised Macbook line-up." msid="112885646" hostid="261" sizebytes="53552" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Steve Jobs was a pivotal part of the revised Macbook line-up. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> After the success of the iMac and iPod, Steve Jobs and the team brought their focus to laptops. iBook and PowerBook had been in the market but it was time for the ‘Mac’ name to shine. Macbook was launched in 2006, with decent specs - a 13.3-inch display, Intel Core Duo processor, integrated iSight camera, and a MagSafe power adapter. Apple eventually increased the line-up with Macbook Pro and Air models, the monikers that we all know today. For that matter, this article has been written on a Macbook Pro 2021 with Apple's own Silicone the M1 Pro. iPhone - 2007 <div type="image" title="Steve Jobs with the original iPhone." msid="112885665" hostid="261" sizebytes="29838" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Steve Jobs with the original iPhone. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>But it was in 2007 when Apple disrupted another market — cell phones. The presentation formula was the same: Steve Jobs, in the spotlight, turtle neck, jeans, white sneakers and a clicker. In his famous words, he said, “We are introducing a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough Internet communications device.” And that's when the world was introduced to the iPhone. A device aimed at both business professionals and casual users, iPhones changed the way the world communicated on cell phones. A fully functional touch-sensitive device that looked and worked like nothing in the market so far. The iPhone needs no introduction, considering there are 1.46 billion iPhone users in the world now. No wonder any small leak, update or announcement around the product makes big news. Having reviewed the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/iphone-15-pro-review-from-a-content-producers-perspective/articleshow/104205246.cms">iPhone 15 Pro myself</a>, I also feel the iPhone democratized content creation. Something that I have highlighted in my review and my article<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/iphone-media-why-the-iphone-matters-for-content-creators/articleshow/102794284.cms"> iPhone &amp; Media - Why the iPhone matters for content creators. </a> iPad - 2010 <div type="image" title="iPad was launched in 2010 by Steve Jobs." msid="112885679" hostid="261" sizebytes="29008" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;iPad was launched in 2010 by Steve Jobs.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Steve Jobs then led the launch of the 1st generation iPad. After noticing the rise of tablet PCs as they were called back in the day, Apple wanted to get the product right. The device was announced and revealed by Apple founder Steve Jobs at an Apple press event on January 27, 2010. The Wi-Fi version of the device was released in the United States on April 3, 2010, with the "Wi-Fi + 3G" version following on April 30. The first-generation iPad, released in 2010, sold approximately 15 million units worldwide in its first year on the market. This figure includes both the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G models. The strong sales performance of the iPad 1st generation helped establish the tablet as a major new category in consumer electronics. Steve Jobs cemented his legacy with the products that define consumer electronics and personal computing. And it all boils down to his wisdom and focus on the product. I wrote this article after coming across an email that Steve Jobs had shared with the team on May 26, 2010. The day when Apple's market cap surpassed Microsoft. In the email, shared below, Jobs referenced Walt Disney and said “We are only as good as our amazing next product” Let’s see what Apple’s next iPhone offers to us. I sure hope it's amazing.
