Both MagSafe and Qi2 are wireless charging technologies that use magnetic rings to position the smartphone on the charger. This makes charging more efficient and faster compared to the first generation of Qi chargers. MagSafe has been available on the iPhone 12 since 2020 and has now become indispensable.

Qi2 is a wireless charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). It is an open standard supported by a wide range of manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, LG, and Google. As a result, Qi2 – together with MagSafe – will become the universal standard for wireless charging in the future.
