But now the tech giant is willingly allowing the WPC to use MagSafe as the basis of Qi2, as it\u2019s called, in order to create a \u201cglobal standard\u201d for wireless charging.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230103005082\/en\/New-Qi2-Standard-for-Wireless-Devices-Ensures-Enhanced-Consumer-Convenience-and-Efficiency\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230103005082\/en\/New-Qi2-Standard-for-Wireless-Devices-Ensures-Enhanced-Consumer-Convenience-and-Efficiency\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>According to the announcement<\/u><\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span>, the organization hopes to clear up any confusion \u201cconcerning what devices are Qi Certified and those that claim to work with Qi but are not Qi Certified.\u201d The WPC goes on to say that \u201cthis confusion can lead to a poor user experience and even safety issues.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"educated-guesses\">Educated guesses<\/h2>\n<p>At this time, the full capability of Qi2 is unknown. The standard is still a long ways away as smartphones and chargers that support it won\u2019t launch until the 2023 holiday season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the WPC does reveal that at the center of Qi2 is the Magnetic Power Profile, which is claimed to \u201censure that phones or other rechargeable battery-powered mobile products are perfectly aligned with charging devices.\u201d As a result, users will experience higher energy efficiency and faster charging speeds. There is also the hope that wireless charging can expand to devices, like smartwatches, that don\u2019t work on typical flat surface chargers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of information currently available, we can still make a few educated guesses. Considering Qi2 uses MagSafe tech, it\u2019s possible upcoming chargers will utilize magnets to latch onto smartphones, feature charging speeds up to 15 watts, and come with foreign object detection. That last one is particularly important because it allows MagSafe chargers to detect if a metallic object has been placed on the pad and automatically shut off. If it doesn\u2019t, the metal would heat up to dangerous degree.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/1\/3\/23538131\/qi2-wireless-charging-apple-samsung\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/1\/3\/23538131\/qi2-wireless-charging-apple-samsung\"><u>Other reports<\/u><\/a> state \u201cevery Qi2 transmitter will require authentication\u201d meaning that future phones may only charge with the standard. We reached out to the WPC for clarification on device authentication as well as how Magnetic Power Profile will work and the standard\u2019s other features.
