​​Apple iPhone Reverse Wireless Charging Still in the Works

A recent news story by Apple Insider reports that rumors have hinted at a reverse wireless charging feature for iPhones since 2019.

Rumors started suggesting a reverse charging feature after the teardown of the iPhone 11 Pro Max hinted at such a function.

Apple Insider notes that the 2019 iPhone sported a bilateral wireless charging, but it looks like the tech behemoth decided to deactivate it.

The speculations grew more extensive when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing of Apple in 2020 for its iPhone 12 lineup provided hints that reverse wireless charging is coming.

The rumors of its arrival went on for the following iPhone lineups in the past years. Reports even pointed out that the recent iPhone 14 Pro is arriving with such a feature. But until now, it has yet to get the shimmer of the spotlight.

But despite the setback, the anonymous sources say that the giant phone maker continues to develop it.

What is Reverse Wireless Charging?

Reverse wireless charging technology essentially lets users charge other devices using their iPhones.

Once Apple started rolling it out, iPhone users only had to place another device on the rear of their smartphone to start topping out the battery of the other device.

It should be handy for accessories or wearables, such as the Apple Watch or Apple AirPods.
