Overview

• Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo claims Apple tested reverse wireless charging on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max to top up accessories placed on the back of the phone.
• Earlier leaks from Instant Digital pointed to a 7.5W implementation, which would suit AirPods or Apple Watch but not fast-charge another phone.
• Multiple reports stress that testing does not mean the feature will ship on retail devices.
• Analyses note Google’s Pixel 10 dropped reverse wireless charging after adopting Qi2 magnetic charging, raising concerns that MagSafe-style designs may conflict with the feature.
• Apple already offers limited reverse power through USB‑C at up to 4.5W and previously via the MagSafe Battery Pack, with final iPhone 17 details expected to be clarified at the early‑September event.
