Two-Way Wireless Charging
The 2017 and 2018 iPhone lineups brought Qi-based wireless charging capabilities to Apple’s handsets. According to a handful of reports about this year’s iPhones, Apple could be adding a new upgrade to the wireless charging feature. Reportedly, Apple may add two-way or bilateral wireless charging to its 2019 iPhones.
Basically, the new iPhones will be able to charge other devices wirelessly if placed on their charging coils. In other words, you may be able to charge your AirPods or another iPhone just by placing them on their backs. It’s a small change, but it’s one that makes sense since that’s already an available feature on the latest Samsung flagship.
