In a move that rekindles memories of the long-canceled AirPower, the Apple Store has introduced the Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4, a two-story wireless charger capable of charging multiple devices at once. This innovative accessory pays homage to Apple's ambitious vision for wireless charging while offering a practical solution for today's tech-savvy users. With compatibility for a range of Apple devices, the Zens Quattro is poised to capture the attention of iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch users alike.
The Apple community still remembers the grand unveiling of the iPhone back in January 2007, a product that would revolutionize communication and tech. While Apple has since enjoyed numerous successes, not every endeavor has turned out as planned. The brief existence of AirPower, which was characterized by its ambitious design and eventual cancellation after 562 days, serves as a reminder of the challenges that can accompany innovation.
Designed to allow users to wirelessly charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once, AirPower was initially met with excitement. However, complications from overheating due to closely packed charging coils led to its cancellation in March 2019. Now, as we near the sixth anniversary of AirPower's demise, the Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 emerges as a worthy alternative, emphasizing practicality and efficiency without sacrificing style.
The Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 can charge up to four devices simultaneously and is an Apple Store exclusive.
Priced at $149.95, the charger is qi2 certified and supports up to 15W maximum charging speed, making it a versatile companion for modern Apple devices. Images featured on its Apple Store listing demonstrate how the product can effortlessly charge multiple devices, including a trio of iPhones and an assortment of AirPods cases.
Ultimately, the introduction of Zens Quattro Wireless Charger serves as a lesson to Apple: sometimes the designs they envision can be materialized by others and can sometimes surpass their original concepts.
