October 2019 • Macworld 59APPLE SPECIAL EVENTWe didn’t hear a single word about a feature
like this on stage, and it’s nowhere to be found on
Apple’s iPhone 11 promo sites.Apple Pencil support
We always thought the rumour that the new iPhone
11 Pro would support the Apple Pencil (or that the
company would even make a smaller one just for it)
was sketchy at best. Sure enough, the new iPhones
don’t support the Apple Pencil.Bi-directional wireless charging
Part of the Qi wireless charging standard is support
for an option ‘bi‑directional’ wireless charging
feature. So not only could your phone be charged
wirelessly, but it could serve as a wireless charger
for other devices. In other words, you could place
AirPods (inside their wireless charging case) or
another iPhone on the back of your new iPhone 11
to wirelessly charge them.It was rumoured that the
