iPhone 12 Leaked Video Revealed Secret Magnetic Wireless Charger Apple Is Developing

AirPower might be hibernating, or dead, but Apple doesn’t give up on its effort to make a wireless charger.

Recently, a video has been sent to 9to5Mac showing a prototype of a wireless charger specially designed for the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup.

What you have in mind now is the charger might look exactly like others available on the market and you are right, it does, but Apple has a few tricks up its sleeves to make its product stands out and a good company to the iPhone 12, one of them is magnetic.

The magnetic makes the charger the perfect match for the upcoming phone, which will reportedly feature a magnetic coil.

So if the video holds true, owners of the iPhone 12 will no longer need to try to line the phone up with the charger, instead, the two will snap into place.

So far, it isn’t clear if the dish will fit into a larger mat or it’s a standalone module. The charger might be a unit designed for manufacturers to make their own charging mats.

iPhones have been wireless charging compatible since 2017 but Apple has yet to launch its own charging mat.

AirPower was introduced alongside iPhone X and according to Apple, the mat can charge up to three devices placed anywhere on it. However, last year, the iPhone maker said the mat wouldn’t make it the market. Sources with insight into the matter said it was heat management and performance that cost AirPower its chance to be released.

The tech might return, who knows, rumor has it that it would come back alongside the upcoming iPhone 12.
