The canceled Apple AirPower wireless charger has surfaced in the bustling catalog of a well-known online marketplace. A topic that has long lingered in tech circles, it drew attention from a number of users on the social platform X (formerly Twitter).
AirPower was pitched as a single, versatile charging pad capable of powering several devices at once. Apple invested years into its development, aiming to streamline charging across multiple devices, but ultimately chose not to bring the product to market due to manufacturing hurdles and concerns about performance.
Images of the prototype first appeared in mainstream outlets during the summer of 2020, offering a rare glimpse into the concept. Now, years later, the holder of a unique sample has decided to list it for sale. The listing caught the eye of an X user going by the handle Sebastiaan de With, who shared screenshots of the advertisement. The seller reportedly seeks 10,000 dollars for AirPower, which translates to roughly 917,000 rubles based on the exchange rate current at that time.
“If the cancellation of Apple AirPower didn’t dampen your curiosity, here’s a chance to own a one‑of‑a‑kind device on eBay for ten thousand dollars,” wrote the user on the social platform, underscoring the device’s rarity and collector appeal.
In recent tech chatter, the same discourse has spilled into conversations about other Apple projects, including recent rumors surrounding premium devices and internal prototypes. The AirPower story remains a compelling case study in product strategy, supply chain realities, and how scarcity can texture the value of a tech artifact long after its planned release.
