iPhone 11 said to support reverse wireless charging feature like Samsung Galaxy S10

w that AirPower is de and with official wireless charger in sight, Apple may be looking at next batch of iPhones to wirelessly charge its new AirPods and also or Qi-compliant devices. Long-term Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has confirmed that 2019 iPhone or iPhone 11 (or whatever Apple decides to call its next iPhone) will support two-way wireless charging - similar to Samsung’s Power Share feature found inside Galaxy S10 phones. 

“We expect new 2H19 iPhone models will support two-way wireless charging. Though iPhone is t first high-end smartphone to be equipped with two-way wireless charging, this new function could make it more convenient for users to charge new AirPods and create a better integrated user experience of iPhone and AirPods,” according to Kuo. 

analyst ds that  two-way wireless charging feature will give way to bigger batteries – while iPhone XS Max successor is said to pack a 10 to 15 per cent bigger battery, iPhone XS successor could see a 20 to 25 per cent jump in battery capacity. iPhone XR successor is meanwhile said to gain least – with a reported 0 to 5 per cent increase over predecessor.   

While Compeq is said to supply battery boards, STMicro will reportedly supply two-way wireless charging controller for next iPhone.  

Reverse charging isn’t a new feature – Samsung has it, and Huawei h it before Samsung. But reverse wireless charging remains largely a gimmick since charging is very slow, as opposed to conventional methods and wireless chargers. Apple’s is also likely to follow suit although it could be useful while topping newly launched AirPods with optional wireless charging case.  

Apple launched three new iPhones last year and it will be looking to do same in 2019 as well. Apple is expected to launch its new iPhones in September. One of iPhone 11s, possibly iPhone 11 Max, will reportedly come with three rear cameras. A faster processor and possibly faster Face ID will be also in cards.
