Last year, we saw the introduction of the Wireless Charging Specification introduced by the NFC Forum, providing a way to use your phone’s integrated NFC chip as a way to wirelessly charge your earbuds (or other accessories). By using this, your phone wouldn’t need to have a “reverse wireless charging” functionality built-in by phone makers like Samsung or Google. Instead, you could just place your earbuds on the back of the phone and have them begin charging.
