iPhone 11 maybe able to wirelessly charge other devices
March 24, 2019
According to the latest report, Apple’s next iPhone might include the feature like Samsung Galaxy S10’s Wireless PowerShare feature, charge other devices wirelessly off of the new phones, allowing you to share a bit of your battery life in a pinch.
The blog cites Chinese suppliers, which back up an earlier report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that claimed that the 2019 iPhone would get such a feature, along with upgraded cameras and a bigger battery, also notes that the upcoming iPhone might come with a new charging cable and the 18W charging port that comes with the iPad Pro, although it won’t utilize USB-C.
Macotakara speculates that the new AirPods Wireless Charging Case may also be compatible with the wireless charging feature on the iPhone 11. The idea is that the iPhone battery is large enough to share power with an Apple Watch and AirPods case in a pinch without any cables involved. Being able to wirelessly charge off of an iPhone would be useful.
