It seems that Apple is planning for an overhaul in the charging department of the iPhones. In back-to-back charging-related report and leak, Apple has been stated to introduce upgrades in the wireless charging space as well as in the fast charging tech. It is now reported that the Cupertino-based giant will introduce the reverse wireless charging capabilities into the next iPhones and will also bundle an 18W adaptor for fast wired charging. The news comes at a time when fresh images of AirPower mat are making rounds on the internet. Citing Chinese supplier sources, Japanese tech news platform Macotakara claimed that the next iPhone, which could be called the iPhone XI, will feature a reverse wireless feature called PowerShare. This feature allows a smartphone to wirelessly charge other devices that support the wireless charging tech.

It said that Apple will also bundle an 18W USB adaptor which ships with the iPad Pro. Users can also buy the adaptor separately for a $50.
