The new iPhone 12 Pro
The release and sale of the new iPhone 12, although not all of them, is underway. And with the first units you can try all its functions and features first hand. But, although we thought we already knew all its news, it seems that the new iPhone has an unannounced but very interesting feature.
That's what appears to have been discovered from a US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) document. It details that, in addition to all the features offered by the new MagSafe of the iPhone, it would also allow loading of its own accessories Manzana.
Reverse charging would be a hidden feature of the new iPhone and iPhone 12 Pro
This, as specified, appears to be describing reverse loading. Reverse charging, which allows devices and accessories to be charged using the mobile device's own charge, is already present in many latest-generation devices.
Although it is true that its possible presence was rumored in the new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, in the end it was not part of the latest rumors and it was not announced as a novelty, nor in the presentation, nor in the specifications of the new iPhone.
The announced features of the new iPhone
But, apparently, this function is present in the new iPhones. Similar to the oximeter on Apple Watches prior to Series 6 Although, unlike the oximeter, Apple will most likely enable reverse charging on iPhonevia a software update.
And, as it appears in the document, it would be used to load future Apple accessories. So it's not unreasonable that Apple will enable reverse charging on the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro once these accessories are introduced.
What do you think about this hidden feature of the new iPhone? Of course it can be very useful to quickly load Apple accessories such as new AirPods or the known, but not presented,AirTags.
