All this through a reverse charging system that would be disabled up to now. Can you imagine being able to load some AirPods on the back of your iPhone 12?
Some new AirPods compatible with the reverse charge of the iPhone 12
A new MagSafe feature was hidden in Apple FCC filings: “In addition to being able to be charged by a desktop WPT charger (puck), 2020 iPhone models also support WPT charging function at 360 kHz to charge accessories [including] an external potential apple accessory in future. "

This is the tweet with which all the alarms went off. The journalist Jeremy Horwitz assured that internal documents of the Federal Communications Commission of the United States (FCC) explained that the iPhone 12 had inside the system necessary to apply WPT charge to other devices. Until now, we knew that the iPhone 12 had everything you need to be able to charge using chargers compatible with the MagSafe standard or Qi standard.
However, what we did not know is that it has enough components to be able to provide other products and accessories with wireless charging using the WPT standard. This standard is known as wireless energy transmission, which is the "wireless charging" that we all know until now.
Analyzing the context in which we find ourselves, Apple could activate reverse charging system to new products adapted to the MagSafe standard. There is no doubt that something is moving in Cupertino and it would not be uncommon to see a new case for AirPods compatible with this reverse charge, some new AirPods Pro or the new AirTags that are compatible with this type of charge. These were claims he made Gurman, the well-known leaker when this news was known.
