Reverse wireless charging is really useful, not especially for charging other iPhones, but for charging devices such as AirPods. A leaked FCC document reveals that the new iPhone 12 is capable of charging other devices wirelessly.
The main accessory we can think of that the iPhone can charge is quite clear: the AirPods. They are the perfect device for this type of technology, but it seems that only the new generations will be compatible.
Apple is going to introduce new AirPods in early 2021, and these could be compatible with MagSafe. This way the iPhone would be able to recognize them and furthermore, charge them.
However, Apple has not announced anything about this. This is what has been found in an FCC document. FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, they are in charge of giving approval to the new devices sold in the US.
According to this document, iPhone 12 will support reverse wireless charging. We will see if an official announcement comes from Apple or not, but this will be an exciting feature to use for iPhone 12 users.
