Owners of certain iPhone models can now rejoice as the latest iOS 17.2 update brings Qi2 wireless charging capability to their devices. Originally, Apple's introduction of this technology was exclusive to the latest iPhone 15 series along with the proprietary MagSafe charging, but this update extends the functionality to the preceding iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 series.
The Advancements of Qi2 Wireless Charging on iPhones
Qi2 wireless charging stands as a revolutionary universal standard that accelerates the charging process for compatible smartphones. Unlike previous standards, the Qi2 not only facilitates faster charging for Apple devices but also brings this advanced technology to Android users.

In contrast, using third-party chargers limits the charging capacity to 7.5W. However, with Anker’s forthcoming MagGo charger, full 15W wireless charging on older iPhone models could become a reality outside of Apple's proprietary system.
Additionally, the newly added support for Qi2 wireless charging means that users have more cost-effective alternatives to Apple's typically higher-priced MagSafe solutions, thus widening the accessibility to high-speed wireless charging without overspending.
