Magnetic Charger for Apple Watch: interoperability, Apple does not know

So the Apple charger operates exclusively with Apple Watch - and vice versa. Too bad for the consumer who hoped eventually recharged with this accessory other Qi compatible devices that might be available or consider acquiring, or use a different charger. John Perzow, one of the Wireless Power Consortium spokesman, the industrial group that promotes the Qi standard, confirmed to The Register that Apple has decided not to submit to its interoperability testing. The manufacturer has especially modified the software stack so that the charger only works with the Watch - therefore do not support more third-party chargers and potentially less expensive. However, on average, these accessories are sold between 10 and 30 euros. For Apple Watch, it will be necessary to count 89 euros. Finally, note that 89 euros dock comes with a USB cable to Ligthning. To connect to an electrical outlet, it will still buy or already have an AC adapter. At Apple, such a product is sold 25 euros.
