A Twitter user has found a reference to Apple's so-far unreleased AirPower charging pad in the source code of the company's AirPods page. It's only in the Australian version of the site, but AppleInsider has also discovered an image in the same code.
Apple has yet to announce a shipping date for its long-awaited and much-delayed AirPower wireless charging product but two signs in website source code point to it being imminent. Twitter user Michael Bateman discovered a single reference to AirPower in the source code for the AirPods page on Apple's Australian website. The code for the same page also contains an as-yet not displayed image of the AirPower in use.
This image is not present in Apple's equivalent page for the US and neither is the source code reference. The page is just the standard AirPods one but examining the HTML code underpinning it includes this one reference to AirPower.
AirPower was first shown in 2017, but recent rumors point to it being released soon, ">possibly even this week

Uh oh, only 2 devices on the mat?
I was very dubious that it would ever see the light of day, but it's looking more like the AirPower might actually arrive. The question is; do they release it with the rest of this weeks hardware releases, or do they save it for the event next week. It's hardware so I can see them wanting to push it out this week so they keep next weeks event just on streaming services. But it is a totally new product and I could see them wanting to crow about it on stage. But unless there's other hardware it would be an oddball one off. It will be an interesting week.
I don't know if Apple is doomed, but I know it's been Doomed for a long time. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/doom-3/id475362810?mt=12
