Jakarta - IPhone users are now shocked by the rarely-known battery charging trick, which allows one iPhone to charge the other iPhone via a USB-C cable. An iPhone user, Sheel Mohnot, posted a photo while trying this trick on the X platform with the caption, "You can charge the iPhone from another iPhone."

One response calls this trick a "future," while others say "That's how you show that you really love someone."

When two iPhone 15 connects with a USB-C cable, the iPhone with a lower battery rate will be charged by the others. Apple reseller, iStyle, confirmed that both devices will communicate automatically to determine which one has a lower battery percentage. Higher power iPhones will start charging the others, while reducing their own power.

On the Apple community page, some users note that this trick also works when using the iPhone 15 to charge older iPhone models. However, the old iPhone model can't charge the iPhone right on the other hand. In addition, this trick is impossible to do between two older devices, such as two iPhone 11.

Apple started installing USB-C charging ports on iPhones since last year, starting with the iPhone 15, after being forced by the European Union to reduce electronic waste. Previously, Apple used their own charging design called 'Lightning'. Although Apple was forced to comply with these rules, they argue that the approach limits the industry's ability to innovate.

Greg Joswiak, Apple executive, said they would comply with the rules because they had to, but believed the approach should be better for the environment and customers if the government was not too prescriptive.
