iPhone on a MagSafe charger
Apple’s release candidate for iOS 17.2 adds a change to wireless charging, with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 supporting the Qi2 charger standard.
The release notes accompanying the release candidate lists all of the changes included as part of iOS 17.2, including one relating to wireless charging. Buried under the “improvements and bug fix” section, Apple says it adds Qi2 charger uphold for all iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models.
While Apple limits the original Qi to 7.5W with MagSafe running at up to 15W, Qi2 will work at 15W. However, MagSafe devices that don’t uphold Qi2 will charge at Qi rates when used with a Qi2 charger.
