Digital Desk: Apple iPhone reverse wireless charging features have been in the works for quite a long time now. The feature was rumoured to debut with the iPhone 11 series, but it has been more than three years and there has still been no word from the tech giant about reverse wireless charging capability. However, a new report by 9to5Mac suggests that we may see reverse wireless charging technology in the upcoming iPhone models since Apple has started work on the feature.

What is reverse wireless charging feature? 

As the name suggests, the feature allows the Apple iPhone to wirelessly charge other devices and accessories. With this feature, the back panel of an Apple iPhone will function as a wireless charging pad, capable of charging AirPods or an Apple Watch using the power stored in the phone's battery. Users will be able to charge their Apple gadgets while on the go with this.

Users will also be able to charge multiple Apple devices at the same time using this feature. With this capability, a user can use wired fast charging for the iPhone while the phone's battery powers the other product via wireless charging.

The feature has been scrapped multiple times in the past, and it will come as no surprise if it is scrapped again, as per 9to5Mac. Since the launch of the Apple iPhone 14 series, we have heard various rumours about the Apple iPhone 15 series, but none of them mention this feature.
