Prosser: iPhone 12 MagSafe Battery Pack to Feature Reverse Charging - MacRumors

Apple is working on MagSafe-compatible battery packs that will be compatible with the iPhone 12 models, and leaker Jon Prosser today said on the Genius Bar podcast that one version of the battery pack will feature "reverse charging.".

According to Prosser, Apple is working on two versions of the battery packs, one that's a standard version and one that's a premium version with reverse charging.

Prosser does not go into detail on reverse charging, but presumably this means that the battery pack will be able to charge an ‌iPhone 12‌ while also charging AirPods from the other side at the same time.

Prosser claims that his source is "not sure" if Apple will release both of these battery packs or if only one will launch, so we may not see a version with reverse charging debut.

There was a mention of a mysterious "battery pack" discovered in the code by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser, and Bloomberg later confirmed that Apple is indeed working on an ‌iPhone 12‌ MagSafe battery pack.
