iPhone 17 Pro Might Gain Unique New Battery Advantage, per Rumor
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to support 7.5W reverse wireless charging, allowing it to power AirPods, Apple Watch, and MagSafe Battery Pack, enhancing convenience for users.
Leaker Fixed Focus Digital revealed that Apple has conducted initial trials of a new wireless power-sharing feature on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro.
This development follows years of rumors about Apple adding reverse wireless charging since the iPhone 11 Pro, with recent claims emerging in early 2024.
The feature is said to support 7.5W power output and may enable charging of various Apple devices, including the AirPods, Apple Watch, and possibly a future version of the MagSafe Battery Pack, although official confirmation is still pending.
The iPhone 17 Pro line aims to differentiate itself from the thinner iPhone 17 Air by offering a battery advantage including reverse wireless charging, alongside new design tweaks like a lower rear Apple logo.
Apple is anticipated to unveil its next-generation iPhone lineup in mid-September 2024, though it is still unclear whether reverse wireless charging will be fully supported at launch.
