In a rather surprising slip up from the famously-secretive company, an upcoming product release has been revealed through a diagram on the back of the new AirPods packaging.

The new box shows a charging mat, which is rumoured to be called AirPower, on the back and demonstrates how the AirPods case can be charged using it.
Other hints at the release include code discovered on Apple’s website, which mentions the AirPower by name, and a different AirPods box a customer received which states the AirPods work with the “AirPower mat”.
Stay tuned for more information.
Just saw this on the box. Not as prominent as diagram, but still mentions it. pic.twitter.com/rKOngqswNR

There seems to be a reference to the AirPower on Apple's Website. @9to5mac @iPhoneinCanada
If you go to https://t.co/005atcxs32 and inspect element, there is HTML code which includes #AirPower. Could a release be imminent?
It does not show up on the U.S. site, only on the AU. pic.twitter.com/bgksGLjl2T
