All iPhone 15 Models Could Get Qi2 And MagSafe Wireless Charging Support; Here Is What That Means For You

The regular iPhone 15 and the ‘Pro’ counterparts will have some major differences between them, but one similarity is that they will support two wireless charging standards. According to the latest report, the new lineup will be compatible with Qi2 and MagSafe chargers.

There was a rumor doing the rounds stating that all iPhone 15 models will support 15W of power when connected through a wireless charger. With Qi2 and MagSafe support arriving for Apple’s flagship iPhone range, users will be able to take advantage of both standards and top up their devices at the maximum possible wattage. Since Qi2 is based on MagSafe, it means any charger that is not MagSafe-certified will still be able to deliver those maximum charging speeds. Ccs1 Dc Charger

Perhaps the biggest benefit for consumers is that the Qi2 standard will not require Apple’s expensive MagSafe module, meaning that several alternatives from various brands can launch in the market, and customers will not get bummed about paying extra for these accessories. According to MacRumors, the wholesale price of each MagSafe module is around $16, while the Qi2 module reportedly costs one-third as much.

This should result in significant savings for manufacturers and customers, plus you are getting the maximum wattage support with the iPhone 15. Now that we know that the hardware is present, would Apple pull a typical move and limit the maximum charge level for non-MagSafe accessories? It is possible, but we can only find out after the official announcement and launch are done with, as that is when the retail units will be available in major markets, providing us with a closer look at what limitations the company has placed.

The iPhone 15 series will reportedly launch in the third quarter of this year, and if you plan on getting any of these models, you will be pleased to know that you can potentially purchase a wireless charging accessory for a lot less now.
