Previously, some reports claimed that Apple had canceled the AirPower project. But now there are rumors that Apple might be developing another wireless charging solution. Recently, new information about battery charging for the upcoming iPhone 12 series has been revealed.
The charging coil of the new iPhone 12 series has been revealed, and its design seems to be different from the wireless charging coil of the iPhone 11. The new charging coil consists of a magnetic ring strip, and Apple may add a magnetic attachment feature to the iPhone 12 series’ wireless charging functionality.
This magnetic attraction function was also rumored to be featured in Apple’s AirPower. The wireless charging protective case for the iPhone 12 has also been exposed, and its wireless charging module seems to adopt the same design.
A few years ago, when Apple launched the AirPower wireless charging pad, one of its most popular features was the ability to charge devices anywhere on the AirPower pad without having to align them with the coil.
The Apple Watch also uses a magnetic charging design. When the back of the Apple Watch touches the magnetic charger base, the magnets inside the charger first align with the Apple Watch, then begin charging.
