Qi2 25W Wireless Phone Chargers Are Official, but Caution Still Advised

JUL 22 – UGREEN's new 3-in-1 MagSafe charger supports 25W Qi2 wireless charging, increasing power delivery by 66% and enabling simultaneous charging of iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

  • The Wireless Power Consortium officially launched the Qi2 25W wireless charging standard, enabling faster charging today.
  • This update builds on the Qi2 standard introduced in November 2023, boosting power from 15W to a maximum of 25W to meet consumer demand for faster charging.
  • Fourteen devices have completed initial certification, and several hundred more wait in queue, while major Android smartphones join iPhones in supporting Qi2 25W speeds.
  • Paul Struhsaker and board chair Fady Mishriki of the WPC highlighted that the Qi2 25W offers wireless charging speeds that are almost 70% higher than the original Qi2 standard, ensuring a faster and more efficient experience for users.
  • Although Qi2 25W chargers support many devices, current iPhones require a new Apple charger for this speed, and the iPhone 17 may offer full Qi2 25W compatibility.
