What is Reverse Wireless Charging?
Reverse wireless charging, which makes your smartphone be a wireless charger, is best for you. Through this, a user’s device may be placed at the back of their iPhone to charge, and it could be another device like AirPods or an Apple Watch.
Samsung provided Wireless PowerShare with the Galaxy S10 in 2019, this means that users may charge a compatible device wirelessly. In case Apple with the iPhone 17 Pro includes this feature, then it will become more convenient to charge accessories for users on the go.
Why is Apple Finally Adding This Feature?
Apple has been trying to implement reverse wireless charging since iPhone 12, but due to its being not enabled, that couldn’t be achieved. According to Apple’s insiders, the company wanted to see how the reverse wireless charging will work without the battery draining too fast or the device becoming very hot.
Now, with the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple is said to have developed battery management and charging systems, and hence it is the best time for them to introduce reverse wireless charging technology.
How Will It Work on the iPhone 17 Pro?
According to the sources, Apple’s reverse wireless charging will be based on the principle of Samsung’s Wireless PowerShare with a few Apple-specific modifications. They are the following:
- Automatic Device Detection – iPhone 17 Pro will automatically start charging an attached device when that accessory is positioned on its back.
- Fast Wireless Charging – Apple may probably allow the charging of up to 7.5 W speed, which is significantly faster than some existing reverse charging options.
- Optimized Battery Efficiency – AI-powered power management is a certain method that Apple could use to reduce battery drain mid-charging of other devices.
- Only for Pro Models – It is planned that iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will be two models of the next generation to be able to offer reverse wireless charging. As for the regular models, they turn out to be without this feature.
