What is Qi2.2?
Qi2.2, also known as Qi2 25W, is an exciting upgrade to the Qi wireless charging standard. Finalized in July 2025, the new specification increases wireless charging speeds to 25W (an increase from 15W in the previous Qi2), making wireless charging nearly as fast as wired. Built around Apple's MagSafe system, Qi2.2 uses built-in magnets to improve alignment and charging efficiency.
