AirPower's cancellation is a black eye for Apple. It tends to announce products only when they're ready to ship, which made AirPower's delays notable. But it's not the only misstep Apple's made in recent years. Its Mac Pro computer, popular with creative professionals, has gone without a major update since 2013. The product's redesign has faced multiple delays but is expected sometime in 2019. Apple also has had various bugs in its iOS software, including an autocorrect bug with iOS 8.0.1 and a Group FaceTime problem with iOS 12.1.

Some Apple watchers said it was smart for the company not to release an inferior product.
