Blogger claims Apple engineers are tryingremake charging coils for more efficient heat dissipation. It is reported that the prototype is already in development.

AirPower charging pad could charge casefor iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at the same time, regardless of the position of each device on the mat. The percentage of battery charge of each device would be displayed on the iPhone lock screen while charging.
Apple first announced AirPower in September2017 at the Steve Jobs Theater, shortly after the introduction of the iPhone X, and said it would be released by the end of 2018. Apple did not fulfill this promise and ultimately canceled the mat in March 2019. But the manufacturer confidently stated that "it is still striving to promote the experience of wireless communications."
