Next iPhone set for a huge new upgrade – but you may want to keep it a secret from friends

YOUR next iPhone could have a huge new feature that’ll make you popular with mates.

However, you might want to keep quiet about it.

Rumour has it, Apple is finally set to launch reverse wireless charging.

It’s a handy tool that allows you to charge another person’s smartphone by giving them some of your iPhone’s power.

Just flip both devices back-to-back and it’ll charge wirelessly.

But obviously this means giving up some of your precious juice, so think twice about who you charge up – and whether you’ll have enough left to get yourself through the day.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple wanted to introduce the feature on the iPhone 14 but it wasn’t quite ready.

Now it looks like developers are trying to make it available on the iPhone 15.

Other smartphone makers have had wireless charging on board for quite a while now.

The option may come in useful for yourself too, as you can refuel other gadgets as well.

This could be particularly helpful if your AirPods are low or down to zero.

Apparently iPhones as far back as the iPhone 11 have had kit under the hood capable of doing wireless charging but it’s not been activated.

Engineers are reportedly working on a way for a handy animation and sound to play out whenever you wireless charge something from your iPhone.

Of course, Apple is notoriously quiet about upcoming changes so we’ll have to wait and see if it becomes a reality in the iPhone 15 or another future model.
