Although these days we are enjoying tropical temperatures that directly invite us to laze around pools or ponds in the summer, when we look at the calendar it is clear to all of us that the summer idyll is over.onekoneThe end will not last. In a few days, August will swing into its second half, which will fly by like a snap of a finger and its time will come again.oneca the arrival of September, hated by many of us, which is a kind of symbol of the end of summer fun. Students return to school, working people return to their jobs, and everyone starts to turn their thoughts from the holidays to Christmas. However, for lovers of the company with a bitten apple in the logo, September is not such a painful month. It is precisely in this month that Apple every year introduces a barrage of new products and launches new operating systems into the world, making many of us enjoy an early Christmas already in September. However, this year's conference will be something special. 

For last year's keynote I remember being on the stage of the Steve Jobs Theater like it was yesterday. A touching beginning with a memory of my father Appwas replaced by a relatively rapid introduction of new products, led by iPhonem X. In addition to apple phones, watches and Apple TV but he showed us Apple and its own wireless charging pad AirPower and wireless charging case for AirPods. However, he did not reveal when exactly he intended to launch any of these products on store shelves. At that moment, few of us could have imagined that almost a year after their introduction, they would not be available. Apple able to deliver these products to store shelves. For the case for AirPods don't bother me that much, but the fact that sales haven't started yet AirPower doesn't bother me too much.

One would think that when Apple will infuse its new iPhones with glass bodies that support wireless charging, will not miss the opportunity to make as much money as possible from this novelty, and will launch its own wireless charger alongside these phones. It wouldn't be though Apple, if he didn't try to come up with something innovative that would interest customers and maybe even convince them that the higher price for the product is at least partially adequate given its features. That innovative product, which was supposed to change the rules of the game among wireless chargers, was supposed to be AirPower. A product that can charge up to three devices at once and will charge your iPhone as well as your Apple Watch whether AirPods with a special case, you have to want it, right? But wanting it is the only thing you can do at the moment. Actually, not only at the moment. You've been able to want it for almost a year now. 

Enthusiasm alternates with hopelessness 

It is precisely the cruelly long time in combination with the higher price, which should, according to available information, be around five thousand crowns in our swamps and groves, that could bring the long-awaited product to a halt. By the way, we can see a great parallel with another product Applu – HomePod. Customers have been waiting for this one for a very long time, and although a huge number of Apple ecosystem lovers enthusiastically declared after its introduction that they would definitely buy it, over time the enthusiasm waned. Of course, this is now fully reflected in its sales, which are not at all convincing. Of course, Apple sells it only in a few markets. On the other hand, it was the users in these markets, mainly in the USA, who enthusiastically proclaimed that HomeThey will certainly go down. But one thinks, time and Apple changes. 

We can't be surprised by the change in customer opinion in any case. Should we wait three quarters of a year for a speaker that will be twice as expensive as the competition and will also be significantly limited in terms of the functions that the competition or the artificial assistant on your phone has? Thanks, I don't want to. Instead, many Apple fans prefer to buy a cheaper product that doesn't boast a great design. Applu, you won't find a bitten apple on it, you won't get stickers with it, and you won't read "Designed in California", but the original Applu in other things, which are often much more important, will exceed. And a similar fate could also befall AirPower. 

Anyone who wanted to try wireless charging bought a charger from a competitor immediately, and if not, waited several months for it. AirPower certainly forced him to do so. If you then buy iPhone this fall, you'll probably also be thinking about buying AirYou won't think too much about Power. Why? The answer is quite simple. Do you really need a charger for five thousand crowns when you can get chargers for 20% of that price? Of course, you won't charge them all at once Apple Watch, iPhone a AirPods. But is it really necessary? Personally, I have AppI have quite a few toys that I would need to recharge at one point. iPhone, So i Apple Watch a AirCan you please help me? nesthello. And yes, I use all three things to the fullest, at least in my opinion. As a result, for me it would be AirPower turned it into a regular charger, on which I would usually only place one product per day, maybe two here and there. But from conversations with my friends and colleagues I know that “I am not alone in this” and they work similarly. So who is the charger actually intended for? One could answer with the obligatory phrase: “For a different target group”. But what is the target group for chargers, if not regular users using products from Apphuh?

Bottom line, sum up – AirPower will be for me and the people around me Apple by disappointment. This product absolutely cannot justify its price with the vast majority of customers, which, in combination with the long waiting time, which discouraged many potential buyers, is a deadly combination. Apple would probably have done much better if he had introduced his classic wireless charger to us last September, put an average price tag on it, and boasted about it AirPowerem would have waited another year. He could have had at least a slightly higher success rate. You simply don't want to pay around five thousand crowns for a year-old product with a specific use.
