Apple iPhone XS hasn’t made many features upgrade as compared with iPhone X but upcoming 2019 iPhone may come with better features as compared to iPhone XS. Apple is pushing its development team to build something better as we get some glimpse of iPhone XI over the internet. Apple may adopt some features from recent gen smartphones like Galaxy S10 and others.
According to a leak from Macotakara, the Japanese Apple news blog has shared new information about the iPhone 11 and its rumored bidirectional wireless charging feature. The site also has new details about what wired charging solution to expect with the next flagship iPhones. This feature works the same as Samsung’s Galaxy S10’s Wireless PowerShare feature.
This leak was first cited to the mainstream before Galaxy S10’s days from Ming-Chi Kuo. Bidirectional wireless charging is an amazing and useful concept as it helps to power up your wearables on the go.
This leaks also show its validation from recent Apple’s AirPods update which includes a new Wireless Charging feature. The user can now wirelessly charge their AirPods from any Qi Charging base. But Apple’s AirPower yet made to the mainstream as it is expected that Apple may introduce AirPower in March 25th special event.
Macotakara also suggested that Apple may bundle 18W USB brick alongside iPhone XI bundle. The back side of the adapter includes USB C port for the lightning connector to USB-C wires. Apple currently ships 5W USB-A brick alongside iPhone XS as this must seem Apple still don’t care for the user as competitions now try to bring a 27W adapter for a smartphone but Apple still stuck there.
Based on Ming-Chi Kuo’s predictions, we’re more confident in the rumor that next-gen iPhones will be able to wireless charge other Apple devices and not just feature wireless charging input.
Rumors about power cables and bricks always less concrete as last year leaks are speculating that Apple will bring an 18W charger for iPhone but they don’t ship it. So this leak may become invalid until Apple really thinks about it.
We have seen the transition in cables in 2012 when Apple release iPhone 5s since then Apple use the Lightning port for iPhone.
