iPhone 15 to support wireless charging with third-party products, says rumor

2023-05-24 06:15:00

According to a new rumor, the next models in the iPhone 15 lineup should support 15W wireless fast charging and this should work even if third-party chargers and without MagSafe certification are used.

It is worth remembering that, in the case of the iPhone 12, 13 and 14, you must have an official Apple MagSafe wireless magnetic charger or a third-party magnetic charger with official MFM certification (Made for MagSafe). If using a standard Qi-certified wireless charger, these models top out at 7.5W.


According to a Weibo post obtained by news aggregator account “yeux1122” on Naver’s Korean blog, the iPhone 15 series will be able to open 15W wireless magnetic charging using non-MFM certified chargers, which are usually more affordable alternatives.

Despite being a rumor, the claim makes sense, as Apple is contributing to a new version of the open Qi standard that works much like MagSafe. Announced in January 2023 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the next-generation Qi2 wireless standard incorporates a magnetic power profile, meaning that devices adopting Qi2 in the future will use the same magnetic technology used in ‌MagSafe‌ devices designed to the iPhone 12 and later.

WPC says the magnetic energy profile in the Qi2 will ensure that phones and other battery-powered mobile products are perfectly aligned with chargers for greater energy efficiency and faster charging‌.

Apple’s decision to make MagSafe technology available to all devices that support Qi2 wireless charging would seem like a direct contrast to its stance on USB-C. The iPhone 15 is expected to feature a USB-C port instead of Lightning, which will allow it to comply with the new regulations implemented in Europe.

Rumor has it that iPhone 15 models will officially only be compatible with Apple Made for iPhone (MFi) certified USB-C accessories, which can be used to limit features like fast charging and high-speed data transfers to approved accessories. by Apple.
