What Is Wireless Charging and How Does It Work?
Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy from a charging pad to your device—no cables needed. It works by creating a magnetic field between two coils: one inside the charger and one in your device. Once aligned, the charger transfers power wirelessly, converting it into electricity that charges your battery.
Say goodbye to tangled cables and messy outlets—wireless charging is cleaner, more convenient, and increasingly efficient.
What Is the Qi Standard?
Qi (pronounced "chee") is the universal wireless charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). It ensures compatibility across major brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and more.
If your device is Qi-certified, it will work with any Qi-certified wireless charger—no need to worry about mismatched chargers anymore.
Understanding Wireless Charging Speeds: 5W, 7.5W, 10W, and 15W
Not all wireless chargers deliver power at the same speed. Here's a breakdown of the most common Qi charging outputs:
| Power Output | Common Devices | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 5W | Entry-level phones, AirPods | Basic and safe, but slower |
| 7.5W | iPhones (12–15 series) | Max charging speed for iPhones under Qi |
| 10W | Most Android phones | Standard fast charge for Android devices |
| 15W | Select Samsung, Pixel phones | Fastest Qi-certified charging speed |
| 2.5W–3W | Apple Watch, earbuds | Low-power output for small devices |
These differences matter. Using a 5W charger for a 15W-capable phone means much slower charging—and potentially a frustrating experience.
Why iPhones Don’t Support 15W Wireless Charging (Under Qi)
Apple limits wireless charging speeds for iPhones under the Qi standard to 7.5W. To access 15W wireless charging, you’ll need an official MagSafe charger or a third-party charger that’s MagSafe-certified (MFi).
That’s why it’s important to choose a charger that’s not only Qi-certified, but optimized for Apple devices.
