Apple might be raising its efforts into its wireless charging technology. The company is reportedly working on a new multi device wireless charging system of the future.

According to Forbes, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed some interesting information about the company’s future wireless charging technology on its Power On newsletter. Apparently, the Cupertino based giant is working to bring a future where chargers that do more than just one device. As of right now, the brand sells the MagSafe Duo wireless charger that charges both the iPhone and Apple Watch/AirPods at the same time.

But as per Gurman, the iPhone maker is working on a successor to the AirPower, which was cancelled back in 2019. In the Power On newsletter, Gurman also stated that “there’s a reason why it planned to launch the device in the first place in 2017.” In other words, the company has yet to give up on its plans with wireless charging technology. He further added that Apple is looking for both short and long distance wireless charging, which is quite a bit more advanced that its current induction charging based offerings.

Gurman believes that the company is imagining a “future where all of Apple’s major devices can charge each other. Imagine an iPad charging an iPhone and then that iPhone charging AirPods or an Apple Watch.” Furthermore, with the European Union cracking down on electronic waste and pressuring the brand to conform to the industry’s universal standards, the company’s Lightning connectors might soon be replaced in favor of the USB-C. But to avoid this, the company could launch devices that only support wireless charging from its next gen multi device chargers. In other words, there might soon be a time where a portless iPhone launches, with the retail box only having a smartphone since the earphones and charging brick are already out.
