Overview

• Fixed Focus Digital reports that Apple has tested reverse wireless charging for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max to top up accessories placed on the phone’s back.
• An earlier leak from Instant Digital cited testing at around 7.5W, suggesting power suitable for AirPods or Apple Watch rather than phones.
• Coverage notes that it remains unclear whether the feature will ship on the iPhone 17 Pro models or be deferred to later devices.
• If included, the capability would be a first for iPhones and would match a feature long offered on many Android smartphones.
• Tech reporting flags open questions about coexisting with MagSafe, pointing to Google’s recent decision to drop reverse charging on Pixel 10 when adopting a MagSafe‑like system, as rumors also highlight other Pro upgrades such as an A19 Pro chip, larger battery, vapor cooling and camera changes.
