The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has (finally) released the new Qi2 standard that will help new devices and chargers line up perfectly, thanks to the magic of magnets. Version 2.0 of the Qi wireless charging standard supports up to 15W charging so that iPhone owners don’t have to get expensive MagSafe-certified accessories to enjoy optimal wireless charging.
Apple — which practically gave away its MagSafe design to enable Qi2 — was the first to release a device with Qi2 support with the iPhone 15 and eventually updated devices going back to the iPhone 12. But Qi2 isn’t just for iPhones — it’s an open standard that should show up in Android phones as well, though Samsung skipped it on the new S24 series.
Accessory makers, including Anker, Nomad, Satechi, Belkin, Mophie, and more, are now shipping Qi2 wireless chargers, with more likely to follow.
