iPhone 11 Pro Max inductive charging - how it works

Samsung was one of the first manufacturers in 2012 whose smartphones could be charged wirelessly. Since 2017, Apple has also been equipping its smartphones with an inductive charging function as standard. How you can also use the wireless charging function with the new Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, you will learn in this article.

How to charge your iPhone 11 Pro Max wirelessly

In order to be able to charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max inductively at all, you need a suitable Qi charging station. When buying a station, be sure to pay attention to the compatibility specifications, so that there are no problems later when charging.

• The coil, via which the iPhone 11 Pro Max can be charged, is installed on the back of the smartphone.
• The charging is done by contact, so it is enough if you put the iPhone 11 Pro Max with the back on the charging station.
• To ensure that the contact is not disturbed and the charging works, it is important that your smartphone case is not thicker than 5 mm.

Can inductive charging be retrofitted?

With the right retrofit kit, you can also equip older iPhone models such as the iPhone 5, 6 or 7 with an inductive charging function. The retrofit kits usually contain a Qi coil, which you connect to your iPhone via the Lightning port and fix to the back of the smartphone using a sleeve. Wie auch beim Kauf der Ladestation ist es wichtig, dass Sie beim Kauf des Nachrüstkits auf die Kompatibilität achten.
