We can see why Apple never released this
We're big fans of Apple here at Creative Bloq, so it's fascinating to see leaks of prototypes or rumours of new products from the Cupertino-based tech giant. But here's what seems to be an Apple device that made it all the way to the testing stage before being mysteriously abandoned.
Images have appeared online appearing to show a MagSafe Apple Magic Charger that never made it into production, and we can see why that might be.

So is the product something that Apple's still planning to release? It seems not, at least not in this form. From the conversation on DuanRui's tweet it seems the firmware doesn't work and that nobody's actually been able to use the device.
Beside that, the device seems to have a pretty significant limitation in that doesn't allow iPhone to be held in portrait orientation on the charger. That makes it only useful for watching media in a landscape orientation. While it could still charge an iPhone when laying flat – an AirPods in a MagSafe charging case – it seems far from 'magic'. There's also that fixed USB-C cable, which looks like it might not last very long.
