Apple iPhone 13 + 14 series models can support Qi2 wireless charging after upgrading iOS 17.2RC

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the clue delivery of Baa Yang, tomato fried tomato! CTOnews.com, December 6 (Xinhua)-- Apple today released an update to the iOS 17.2 candidate version (RC), which brings Qi2 wireless charging support to the iPhone 13 and 14 series models.

The Wireless charging Alliance (WPC) released the Qi2 wireless charging specification in August this year, which brings faster wireless charging speed, versatility and compatibility for handheld and mobile devices.

Qi2 wireless charging protocol is the latest wireless charging standard of WPC. Compared with the current Qi standard, Qi2 uses magnetic power distribution technology, which claims to ensure a perfect match between the device and the charger, thus improving energy efficiency. Qi2 will support the industry to develop faster wireless charging technology while ensuring that the charging process is always safe without shortening battery life or damaging the receiver.

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Qi2 charging devices can be aligned and charged faster using magnets like existing MagSafe accessories, and Apple's iPhone 15 series model launched this year was the first to add Qi2 support.

The Qi2 charger supports up to 15W, but still supports 7.5W wireless charging according to the technical specifications page.
