Apple's adding Qi2 wireless charging to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 with iOS 17.2 — what it means for you

IPhone 13.

Apple's incoming iOS 17.2 update contains a hidden treat for iPhone 14 series and iPhone 13 series owners. It'll make both phones compatible with the Qi2 wireless charging standard, according to the patch notes for the final version of the new software.

Qi is the current widely adopted wireless charging system that the vast majority of wireless charging phones use, even if they also have a faster standard unique to the company. For example, a recent iPhone can charge at 7.5W on a generic wireless charging pad as well as at 15W with a licensed MagSafe charger.
