The new Qi 2.0 standard ups wireless charging with compatible devices and chargers from 7.5 watts to 15 watts.
Upping wireless charging to 15 watts means devices that use Qi1 will charge at the same power asApple’sMagSafecharging.
Speaking of which, Qi2 chargers will support the Magnetic Power Profile, which is based on MagSafe tech.
TheiPhone 15range launched with Qi2 compatibility sadly, other new phones such as theGoogle Pixel 8 Proaren’t Qi2-ready.
And the Wireless Power Consortium said there are more than 100 devices currently in the testing and certification phase.
Wireless charging pales in comparison to the speeds delivered by wired chargers.
But a move to 15 watts paves the way for faster charging.
