iPads could be getting wireless charging in 2022
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a new iPad Pro with wireless charging. Writing in the weekly Power On newsletter, Gurman says that we could see the 2022 iPad Pro get wireless charging, with a previous report having pointed to the stellar new feature – charging iPhones from an iPad Pro. Reverse wireless charging has long been rumored for future iPhones, but it could make even more sense on a large iPad.
