"We tried to keep it as low-cost as possible, and now we find we can't, in fact, make the most of it," Gruber said. "We're still trying to figure out the best way to keep the temperature down. We're trying to figure out a way to keep battery life at a high level, and we're trying to figure it out from our own internal data, and from Apple's own engineering, and from our own experience with other devices. There's a lot of hard work to be done, but at some point we're going to have to figure it out and get it right for customers."

Gruber also cites some Apple insiders who have seen some internal Apple testing of the mat. "We had a lot of issues with some of the parts on the iPhone 8 and we had problems with the internal components and we had problems with the internal components in the first place," he said. "So in the end, we decided to let the whole thing sit there, and that's what we did. We put a lot of effort into it and the part that is really important is the internal components that we had to replace with the internal parts that we have."

While we're not talking about the original Apple testing of the air mat, it's worth noting that it's not clear when the next phase of the iPhone will launch. Until then, it seems likely that the new AirPower is going to come standard with the same design that has been standard in previous generations of devices. The exact specifications and features are not yet known, but it seems likely that the design will feature the new AirPower and Apple will likely release the device with one or both of these innovations. We'll update this story with any new information as it becomes available.

This is an updated version of a previous post by John Gruber, an Apple insider who was the lead engineer on the launch of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
