The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to debut in September 2025, with pricing likely to remain consistent with current models despite the significant technological advancements. One of them being Wireless Charging Capabilities (reverse charging) integrated into the device itself.
iPhone 17 will make your life easier:
The days of carrying multiple chargers and cables might soon be behind us. Instead, the iPhone will become a power hub for your Apple ecosystem, addressing one of the most persistent pain points in modern tech: keeping everything charged without turning your bag into a cable management nightmare.
Potential:
Rumors and leaks suggest that not only will the 17 series get bumped upto Qi2.2 charging, it will also get a highly sought-after Reverse Wireless Charging feature (like the one on Samsung’s Galaxy phones). This means that you can potentially place your Apple Watch or even your AirPods on the back of your latest iPhone, and they would charge seamlessly without any locks or docks.
Your phone will function as a portable charging pad for accessories like AirPods and Apple Watch. This feature has existed on Android devices for years, but Apple’s implementation appears more refined, with stronger magnetic alignment and more efficient power transfer using the existing MagSafe system for precise alignment, ensuring optimal charging efficiency rather than the hit-or-miss experience seen on competing devices.
Limitations:
The power transfer is reportedly limited to 5W for accessories, which is adequate for emergency charging situations without excessively draining your phone’s battery. It’s also heavily speculated that Apple being Apple will only provide the Pro models with the Reverse Wireless Charging feature, while the base models sit high and dry.
We can on;y keep our fingers crossed and hope that this becomes a reality unlike the prophesised AirPower which never made it to the shore
