iPhone 15 could offer reverse wireless charging support
Originally in 2020, MacRumors claimed that Apple had filed an application with the FCC about the reverse wireless charging feature. But shortly after, Apple analyst Mark Gurman said that this feature is unlikely in the near term. Now a new patent issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office shows that Apple continues to work in this direction.
The wireless charging system currently on the back of iPhones is limited to a large coil that doesn’t support smaller devices like the Apple Watch. However, with the new patent, Apple may switch to a new system for Apple Watch, Mac and iPads as well as AirPods. Although it is not known when this technology will be implemented, it may appear in the iPhone 15 family, which is expected to be introduced in September.
