iPhone 11 Pro Max Teardown – Evidence of new charging function found

The repair specialists at iFixit have subjected the iPhone 11 Pro Max to an obligatory teardown and discovered evidence of the much-discussed bilateral wireless charging feature.

Let’s get straight to the point. iFixit According to reports, the iPhone 11 Pro Max's new L-shaped battery has two battery connectors - one of which is new. Examination of these ports revealed that one of them must be the connection to the wireless charging coil.

When the phone is on, we disconnected the bottom battery connector and the phone stayed on and charged via the Lightning port, but not wireless charging. Seems like this extra connector is a direct connection to the wireless charging coil, which could be an important feature for bilateral charging. When we reconnected the cable, our phone displayed a brief temperature warning before returning to normal. We suspect it lost contact with a key battery temperature sensor and that's why it's shutting itself off; this sounds a lot like a backwards wireless charging thermal management feature to us.

Bilateral wireless charging would allow users to charge their AirPods or Apple Watch on the back of the new iPhone 11 Pro - of course, any Qi-enabled accessory would be compatible for this process. The rumor that this feature would be added was at least as persistent as the triple camera issue. However, the night before the keynote, a report was published that Apple had disabled the feature in software at the last minute. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the charging efficiency may not have met Apple's requirements.

It is also unclear whether this feature can really be launched via a software update - but it is likely that Apple may be planning to introduce the function at a later date. In addition to the connections, there is another clue that indicates the bilateral wireless charging function. There is a component under the battery that could be directly related to the function. In addition to the restructuring of the battery, the logic board has also been made a little slimmer to make room for the camera module. If there is any further noteworthy information on this, we will update the article. (Image: Apple)
