iPhone 13 and 14 to get Qi2 wireless charging support with iOS 17.2: Up to 15W without MagSafe\u060c<\/p>\n
The concept of wireless charging has been around for over a century, with the first patent being filed in 1906 by Nikola Tesla. However, it was in the late 2000s that the technology became commercially viable and widely adopted. Apple joined the wireless charging revolution in 2017 by introducing Qi compatibility to the iPhone<\/a> 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Just recently, Apple, usually sticking to the familiar, surprised everyone with Qi2 compatibility on the iPhone 15, and now there is more news from Cupertino. The release notes for iOS 17.2 RC reveal the truth, mentioning the addition of “Qi2 charger support for all iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models,” as noted 9to5Mac<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n This implies that these iPhone models will now support up to 15W wireless charging with Qi2 certified chargers. The release notes, however, leave us hanging on the power specs, which we'll likely learn when iOS 17<\/span>.2 hits the general public, expected in a few days.<\/p>\n Previously achieving 15W input on iPhone13<\/span> And iPhone14<\/span> it required MagSafe certified chargers, leaving cheaper MagSafe compatible chargers limited to 7.5W. With the entry of Qi2, consumers can expect more budget-friendly options for 15W wireless chargers.<\/p>\n Qi2 made waves at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2023, introducing its MagSafe-like fast wireless charging standard, not only for iPhones but also for Android devices. Thanks to the \u201cMagnetic Power Profile\u201d, Qi2 guarantees compatibility between different phones and chargers. Although current power is capped at 15W, future updates could bring a substantial increase beyond 15W.<\/p>\n Expect the first Qi2 accessories to arrive just in time for the holiday season, with more than 100 devices currently undergoing testing or awaiting certification testing, according to the Wireless Power Consortium. Brands like Belkin, Mophie and Anker are among the first to roll out Qi2 accessories, giving users a wider range of choices.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" iPhone 13 and 14 to get Qi2 wireless charging support with iOS 17.2: Up to 15W without MagSafe\u060c The concept of wireless charging has been around for over a century, with the first patent being filed in 1906 by Nikola Tesla.
