The new iPhone 15 lineup supports both MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging
During Apple's Wonderlust event, the company announced its new lineup of iPhones and its new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 smartwatches. But in only one sentence, the company also revealed that the new iPhone 15 lineup supports Qi2, the next generation of the Qi wireless charging standard, in addition to Apple's proprietary MagSafe technology.
All this means that iPhone 15 users will be able to choose between charging their shiny new phones with a MagSafe wireless charger or with a non-MagSafe one without sacrificing speed.
But wait, it gets even better! Since Qi2 is actually based on Apple's MagSafe, it uses magnets to "attach" your phone to the charger. So, you won't lose that MagSafe experience you're so used to. Oh, and since manufacturers won't need to pay licensing fees to use Apple's technology, we could receive accessories offering a MagSafe experience at more budget-friendly prices — at least in theory.
