"After much effort, we've concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards, and we have cancelled the project," said Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, in a statement. "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."
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.
