We’ve been waiting a long time for Apple’s wireless AirPower charging mat, now it seems to be in production.
The site ChargerLab has quoted in two tweets sources that say that two companies already produce the loading mat. The first is Luxshare Precision, which will also produce the Apple AirPods, the second is Pegatron, which will also produce for Apple.
Breaking: AirPower is finally coming. We just learned from credible source in supply chain that the manufacture Luxshare Precision has already started producing Apple AirPower wireless charging pad. Luxshare Precision is also the maker of Apple AirPods and USB-C cables. pic.twitter.com/UqgWIAh3sx

Apple AirPower: Another source claims Pegatron is set to start mass produce AirPower at Jan 21. Pegatron is therefore an Apple OEM in Asia. The company employee says AirPower has total three layers of coils in 8-7-7 configuration from bottom to top. pic.twitter.com/xsboO47PGR

Furthermore, it is assumed in the tweets that Apple’s loading mat contains many coils for inductive energy transfer. Since it should be possible to charge three devices simultaneously on the base, there should be three levels with eight, seven and seven coils each. This would explain the complex development effort and the delay. Actually the AirPower should already appear at the end of last year.
