While reverse wireless charging has already been seen on Android smartphone from various brands, it seems that Apple is still working on developing this technology with the latest report also hinting at its arrival for next gen iPhones.
According to sources close to the matter, the Cupertino based giant is still working on perfecting the full reverse wireless charging technology for its iPhones. For those unaware, this technology basically makes your smartphone a wireless charging pad, enabling you to charge other products that support wireless charging. Meaning, your phone can end up charging another device that supports wireless charging, or even TWS earbuds that have charging cases that support the same.
The sources added that the brand had originally hoped to debut the reverse wireless charging technology on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the company had failed to meet its deadline. So now, it appears that Apple engineers are hard at work again to finish the wireless charging tech along with building software optimizations for it as well. Reverse wireless charging can also be called bilateral wireless charging.
Notably, ever since the iPhone 12 series, Apple has incorporated at least some elements that enable reverse wireless charging. However, this feature has been deactivated on the devices likely over various reasons. But once the company fully supports reverse wireless charging, we can expect the iPhones to be capable of charging any Qi enabled accessory. One of the best uses would likely include charging your AirPods.
