Sure, the devices\u00a0initially couldn&#8217;t charge as fast, but when\u00a0Apple implements something, it often brings an interesting twist to it. Instead of slapping in a regular USB-C port, Apple decided to make it a versatile energy source.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you own an iPhone 15 or above, your smartphone is both a battery-consuming device and one that can charge other devices. If you have a USB-C cable sitting in your bag, your iPhone automatically becomes a portable charging source. Unfortunately, not in the wireless sense, which Samsung and other Android phones have been doing for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to Apple, any iPhone 15 or later can deliver up to 4.5 watts through its USB-C port to charge compatible devices. That may not sound like a lot, but when something crucial is dying with no power source nearby, this could come in handy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the output won&#8217;t replace a dedicated wall-charger or those super-fast power banks, it is a practical inclusion that iPhones were missing out on. However, the question is, which devices can you charge using an iPhone?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">AirPods, iPad and, Apple Watch<\/h2>\n<p>                           &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2183158\/devices-you-can-charge-with-iphone\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Devices You Probably Didn&#8217;t Realize You Can Charge With Your iPhone https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2183158\/devices-you-can-charge-with-iphone\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":261979,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/img\/gallery\/5-devices-you-probably-didnt-realize-you-can-charge-with-your-iphone\/l-intro-1779994126.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-261978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-15"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261978"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261981,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261978\/revisions\/261981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
