The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may include reverse wireless charging as an eagerly awaited capability. The iPhone 17 Pro will acquire the ability to transfer power from its battery to charge accompanying Apple devices starting from Air Pods and extending to the Apple Watch and potentially the MagSafe Battery Pack. Testing of the feature continues but Apple has not affirmed its availability when the iPhone 17 Pro launches in September 2025.
A Weibo-based source called Instant Digital reports that Apple is conducting research for reverse wireless charging technology in its iPhone 17 Pro devices. The iPhone 17 Pro models would introduce reverse charging capabilities to the iPhone series for the first time enabling power transfer to compatible devices. Earlier attempts at reverse charging technology were restricted to the iPhone 12 MagSafe Battery Pack because it required a Lightning port connection for power supply.
Recent information suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro reverse charging technology enables wireless power delivery at 7.5W. A small amount of reverse charging capability on the new model would allow users to power their alternative Apple devices effectively. The feature provides portable convenience to mobile users who no longer need to transport multiple charging cables since their accessories can draw power directly from the iPhone 17 Pro.
Apple implemented a major change by transitioning iPhone 15 devices to USB-C connection instead of Lightning. This destructive change removed certain features but brought the possibility of adding reverse wireless charging. The testing of reverse charging capabilities within the iPhone 17 Pro development suggests Apple wants to expand user flexibility.
The integration of reverse wireless charging would provide great practical value to customers who utilize different Apple devices in their daily activities. Wirelessly charging accessories through an iPhone eliminates the requirement for additional cables and power banks. Users who rely on Apple's products would gain from the company's ongoing commitment to improve the connection between their devices.
Product testing for reverse wireless charging continues but there is no official confirmation about its availability in the September 2025 phone launch. Finished product releases benefit from new feature testing conducted by the company to identify which features will be included. Upcoming weeks should deliver more knowledge about the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro devices which will reach the market numerous months later in the future.
