Apple’s iPhone 15 to adopt the new Qi2 wireless charging standard

Apple

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) introduced the Qi2 charging standard earlier this year, based on Apple’s MagSafe technology. And the iPhone 15 line is one of the first smartphones to use this new wireless charging method. This is a surprising move from Apple, which usually takes its time to adopt new technologies (although it has supported Qi wireless charging before).

The WPC announced that new wireless iPhone 15 chargers will be available soon, just in time for the holiday season. Several companies, such as Belkin, Mophie, Anker and Aircharge, have already revealed their Qi2 products that will work with Apple’s latest devices. More than 100 devices are currently being tested and will be released soon.
