Although the company is famous for updating model numbers for its accessories due to small changes. Sometimes these changes are even hard to notice to visible eyes. However, a report from July suggested that the iPhone 13 series might come with larger wireless charging coil and strong magnets with possible support for reverse wireless charging.
Meanwhile, FCC has tested the new MagSafe Charger with eight different iPhone models. It shows 4 iPhone models A2341, A2172, A2176, and A2342 as “Legacy Phone,” all iPhone 12 models. Whereas, the charger was also tested with four unidentified “New Phone” units. This could be possibly the four new iPhone 13 models.
