Xiaomi made the AirPower wireless charging mat Apple never could - Android

Among the Apple faithful, the "drop it anywhere" AirPower charger has a semi-mythical status, as it was announced and delayed seemingly indefinitely before being unceremoniously dumped. Rumors of compatibility and heat issues plagued its prolonged development cycle. The AirPower's "any device, any position" selling point hasn't been replicated yet, but Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi is giving it another go.

This morning's announcement, along with various other products and innovations, showed off a device with pretty much the exact same appeal as the AirPower.
