The first rumors about the upcoming iPhone were already known at the beginning of the year. Unusually early, a concrete picture of the 2019 flagship iPhone is now emerging.
The Japanese Apple blog Macotacara now claims to have found out more details about the features. The news platform is usually considered reliable and accurate – all the more reason to attract more attention such statementsAccording to the latest report, the iPhone 11 will have the same function that the Samsung Galaxy S10 already has - namely Wireless PowerShare. According to this, the 2019 iPhone will be able to charge the new AirPods charging case and even an Apple Watch on the back of its own case. The information comes from Chinese supplier sources. Before Samsung presented its current flagship with the same function, such a feature was already predicted by star analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Updating the accessories
Macotacara thus once again underpins Kuo's prediction. Furthermore, the upcoming iPhone 11 will still feature a Lightning port – only the included adapter will be updated. According to this report, Apple plans to include a USB-C to Lightning cable with the iPad Pro's 18-watt charger. This update would significantly improve the iPhone's charging speed. Currently, iPhones ship with a sluggish 5-watt charger. Anyone wanting to enjoy fast charging will have to purchase expensive accessories. Based on Ming-Chi Kuo's predictions, we are optimistic about the rumor of "wireless charging accessories." However, the topic of connectors and adapters should be treated with caution. Over the past two years, there have been repeated rumors that Apple intends to update the included accessories – to date, none of them have been true.
