The Pixel 10 is expected to feature a larger 4,970 mAh battery, a 6.3-inch display with 3,000 nits brightness, and faster wireless charging at 15W using Qi2, along with other upgrades like a Tensor G5 chip and improved camera setup, with a launch anticipated in late August.
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series is expected to feature the next-generation Qi2 wireless charging technology, which includes the Magnetic Power Profile for improved efficiency and alignment, similar to Apple's MagSafe. This move aims to keep Samsung competitive against Apple and Chinese brands like Oppo, which already offer advanced magnetic wireless charging solutions. While Samsung may initially offer the minimum 15W charging speed, the introduction of Qi2 is seen as a positive step towards faster wireless charging capabilities in the future.
iOS 17.4 update reportedly enables 15W Qi2 wireless charging support for iPhone 12, bringing it in line with iPhone 13 and 14. Qi2 is a next-gen wireless charging tech based on MagSafe, offering faster speeds. Third-party chargers without MagSafe certification were limited to 7.5W, but now can reach 15W with Qi2. Apple did not officially announce this update, possibly due to the iPhone 12's original Qi standard and MagSafe technology.
Anker has confirmed that its MagGo accessories with Qi2 certification will support 15W wireless charging on the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15. This is a significant improvement compared to older Qi products that were limited to 7.5W charging speeds. The Wireless Power Consortium has certified six brands of transmitters, including Anker, for Qi2 wireless charging. Qi2 is shaping up to be a more affordable alternative to Apple's MagSafe, offering 15W charging speeds. The first Qi2 products are expected to hit the market before the end of the year.
iOS 17.2 will introduce Qi2 next-gen wireless charging capabilities for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, enabling faster and more efficient charging.
Apple's upcoming iOS 17.2 update will bring support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard to iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models, adding a MagSafe-like ring of magnets and increasing the charge rate to 15W. While the iPhone 15 series already supports Qi2, there are currently no Qi2 chargers available. Qi2 will provide faster and more convenient wireless charging for Android phones and allow access to the ecosystem of magnetic wireless chargers that support MagSafe iPhones. The charging speeds for iPhone 13 and 14 on Qi2 chargers have not been explicitly confirmed by Apple yet. The iOS 17.2 update also includes other features such as the Journal app and spatial video capture for iPhone 15 Pro.
