One of the new features of the iPhone 15 has slipped under the radar, and it's actually a really big deal: while Apple often lags behind Android when it comes to wireless charging technology, this time it's at the head of the pack. And that means every iPhone 15 has a big wireless upgrade inside. You just can't take advantage of it yet.
The upgrade is Qi2 ("chee two"), which is the second generation of the Qi wireless charging standard. It was announced earlier this year as the replacement for the 13-year-old Qi standard, and it's based on the same MagSafe tech that Apple introduced in the iPhone 12. But unlike MagSafe this is an industry-wide standard designed for every kind of phone, not just Apple ones.
