Next iPhone Could Include Two-Way Wireless Charging

According to rumors, the next-gen iPhone should feature two-way wireless charging. And while that probably won’t knock any socks off, it shows the evolution of everyone’s favorite all-in-one device (the smartphone, not the iPhone).

The iPhone X famously includes inductive wireless charging, certified to the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard. Qi can facilitate wireless power transfer at distances of 4 cm (1.6 inches) or less using resonant inductive coupling, and the WPC’s standard is the VCR of the wireless charging wars, with celebrity endorsees like Google, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, BlackBerry, Sony, and even Starbucks and McDonalds.

And according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and MacRumors, the next version of Apple’s flagship product would supposedly allow the iPhone to wirelessly charge other devices. It’s not that crazy -- Samsung Galaxy S10, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and the Huawei P30 Pro already include this feature, and the iPhone has functioned as a Wi-Fi hotspot for awhile now.
