Although the company could not meet the deadline for the iPhone 14 Pro, Cupertino engineers are still working on the function and now there are several leaks that indicate that, this time, we could. charge other devices using the energy stored in the battery of the next iPhone.
This time it’s the boys from 9to5Mac who post that Apple is pushing the development of bilateral wireless charging on the iPhone. Both on the hardware and the software side, the issue is being worked on to probably have it ready for the iPhone 15 after many fans and ‘haters’ of the firm have criticized the brand’s latest phones for the few new features included inside.
How would this upload work?
Reverse charging is a technology that would allow users to not only charge the smartphone with a wireless charger, but also use the iPhone to charge accessories. For example, we could fill the case with energy charge your AirPods or Apple Watch no need to charge each of these with its own charger independently.
The most striking thing is that, since the launch of the iPhone 12These phones already have the necessary hardware to run wireless reverse charging, but the feature has been dormant ever since for many different models that have been released in successive years.
In fact, the magsafe battery pack, which was also launched a few years ago with the iPhone 12, already contains the basic functions of reversible loading. So if you connect a Lightning cable to your iPhone, the phone will send power to the connected MagSafe battery pack. Along with this possibility, an interface for reverse wireless charging is being prepared that resembles the one used for MagSafe chargers and accessories, that is, it includes on-screen animations and a sound effect to indicate that bilateral charging has started. .
Last month we already told you that Apple and the Wireless Power Consortium are working together on a Qi wireless charging standard next generation based on MagSafe and now it seems that the brand wants to go a step further with its technology called ‘Wireless Power Out’ that would complement the hardware that we have already had ready in phones for a long time.
Now all that remains is to wait a little longer, until September, the date on which the brand’s new phones will be presented, to find out if the iPhones that the firm launches this year have this demanded capacity or, again, everything is remains in borage water and we have to wait until future models of the iPhone 16 series.
