Apple may finally catch up to Android flagship features with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max reportedly getting reverse wireless charging capabilities – a technology Samsung pioneered years ago.

iPhone 17 Pro Reverse Charging Details
According to Fixed Focus Digital, both iPhone 17 Pro models will support reverse wireless charging, allowing users to power their AirPods, Apple Watch, and other Qi-compatible devices directly from their phone’s battery.
This rumor gains credibility from several internal hardware upgrades expected in the iPhone 17 Pro series that would support power-sharing functionality.
Supporting Hardware Changes
| Component | iPhone 16 Pro | iPhone 17 Pro (Rumored) |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling System | Standard heat dissipation | Vapor chamber cooling |
| Battery Enclosure | Current design | Metal enclosure for better heat transfer |
| Battery Capacity | Current size | Increased capacity |
| Wireless Features | Standard Qi charging | Qi + Reverse wireless charging |
Why This Makes Sense Now
The iPhone 17 Pro Max reverse charging feature aligns perfectly with Apple’s rumored hardware improvements:
- Larger batteries provide extra juice for power sharing
- Vapor chamber cooling manages heat from reverse charging
- Metal battery enclosure improves thermal management during power transfer
These upgrades suggest Apple is finally addressing the thermal and power constraints that likely prevented reverse charging in previous iPhone generations.
Apple’s Late Adoption Strategy
While Samsung has offered reverse wireless charging since the Galaxy S10, Apple typically waits until technology matures before implementation. This conservative approach often results in more refined features when they finally arrive.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to showcase Apple’s commitment to catching up with Android flagship features while maintaining their premium user experience standards.
What Devices Could Benefit?
Reverse wireless charging would be particularly useful for Apple’s ecosystem:
- AirPods Pro/Max – Quick top-ups without separate charger
- Apple Watch – Emergency charging during travel
- Third-party Qi devices – Universal compatibility
Release Timeline and Expectations
The iPhone 17 Pro launch is expected in September 2025, following Apple’s traditional fall release schedule. However, reverse charging rumors have surfaced annually without materialization, so skepticism remains warranted.
Industry analysts suggest Apple may finally implement this feature when transitioning to silicon-carbon battery technology, which could provide the necessary power density and thermal efficiency.
