New news regarding the official dock that Apple has manufactured for the induction charging of the Apple Watch. It is an oval-shaped base, circular seen from above, with the induction charging cable of the Apple Watch in the middle.
So far everything is correct if it were not because it has been possible to know that this charging base is the only one that users of Apple watches could use for now. They will not be able to use any other charging base that has the same technology since Apple has modified the software to version 1.1.2 to avoid damage to its watches.
The options that we have right now to charge the Apple Watch go through buying a dock of the hundreds that there are in which to house the induction charging cable itself that Apple supplied with the Apple Watch or, for a week, its own charging base.
It seems that Apple has modified the software of the Qi standard as reported by John Perzów, vice president of market development at the Wireless Power Consortium, the body that regulates the standard.
We believe that Apple uses Qi version 1.1.2, but with the software modified so that only the Apple charger works with the Apple watch.
This could be because Apple does not want us to use the charging bases of any manufacturer in order to avoid possible damage derived from a malfunction of a base that they have not manufactured. Surely over time only the charging bases that carry the acronym Made for Apple Watch will be the ones that can carry the smallest of Cupertino.
