iPhone 13 Wireless Charging, MacBook Air M2 Chip (iPhone News #27)

This week many rumors about the iPhone 13, the image of which is getting sharper. We also learn more about next year’s MacBook Air.

‘iPhone 13 gets improved wireless charger, may also charge in reverse’

That’s what Max Weinbach says via a video from EverythingApplePro. Based on his sources, all iPhone 13 models would get a larger wireless charging coil. This increases the surface area with which the phone connects to a wireless charger. In addition to reducing the time you have to search for the ideal way to place the device on a charger, this would also enhance the power of the MagSafe magnet. A godsend for MagSafe car holders, whose iPhone 12 now falls off too easily when you drive over a bump in the road.

The iPhone 13 has yet to appear, but there are already rumors about its successor. The iPhone 14 would be a major upgrade in terms of screen. All models may feature a smooth 120Hz ProMotion display.

This makes scrolling through your social media or favorite website look much smoother. The cheaper iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are expected to make do with an ‘old-fashioned’ 60Hz screen. That could change next year. MacRumors writes that all Apple screen suppliers can produce 120Hz displays by 2022. The website therefore speculates that the company will also give all models of the iPhone 14 such a screen.
