Speaking of AirPower, DigiTimes this week also claimed AirPower is scheduled to ship "later in 2019," although the publication subsequently removed that statement from its article. There have been questions about whether the accessory is even still in the works, but a couple of recent reports have claimed it's finally entering production.

iFixit has dubbed the issue "Flexgate," and users who run into it may find themselves in for some sticker shock, as rather than a relatively cheap repair of the cables themselves, Apple's decision to integrate the cables into the display requires a full display replacement that can run in the neighborhood of $600.
