Apple iPhone 11 series may not support two-way charging technology: Report

Earlier this year, we came across a report that indicated that the **2019 iPhones will support two-way charging** technology. Which means, the iPhones could charge other devices like the Apple Watch or AirPods. This was speculated by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. However, hours ahead of that **official launch of the new iPhones** , Kuo has revised his prediction and said that the new iPhones may not have that ability after all. As per a report by CNBC, in his revised prediction, Kuo says that Apple might have encountered issues to deliver new charging technology to enhance the upcoming iPhones.

If true, extra points automatically go to the likes of Samsung and Huawei that have already launched their smartphones in the market support two-way wireless charging technology.

This model will apparently continue with the LCD display and get a small battery boost of 5 percent or even lower.

Also expected to be retained are Apple’s TrueDepth camera and an associated display notch. Kuo also believes that the iPhone XR successor might be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM, up from the current 3 GB RAM.
