Apple is expected to launch its; iPhone 13 series later this year which is speculated to feature reverse wireless charging according to reports. According to leaker Max Weinbach, the iPhone 13 series will pack stronger MagSafe magnets and will have larger wireless charging coils. The addition of larger wireless coils is expected to provide better heat management, and also provide a higher wattage. Currently, MagSafe can be used to charge the iPhone 12 wirelessly at up to 15W.
A new rumour from Max Weinbach (via MacRumors) claimed that Apple’s new iPhone 13 lineup will likely feature a bigger wireless charging coil.
This may increase the circumference from which the iPhone can charge wirelessly and also leave a variety of advantages like increased wattage.
Weinbach went on to speculate that this might be used to introduce reverse wireless charging to the iPhone, a feature that was expected to arrive last year itself with the iPhone 12.
This also implies that the iPhone would be capable of juicing up the battery of other wireless charging capable devices, like AirPods or the Apple Watch, by simply placing them onto the back of the next iPhone. If you’re travelling light and don’t intend to carry a chunky power bank with you, this could be a near little feature to help you charge a secondary device.
According to Weinbach, Apple has reportedly been toying with reverse wireless charging for a short time now. An FCC filing from Apple late last year uncovered that the iPhone 12 may have already got these wireless charging features hidden in its hardware – they only haven’t been activated.
However, to this date, there hasn’t been any information on when or if these features are going to be delivered to life within the iPhone 12, so it’s possible Apple is saving it for the 13.
