The Google Pixel 9 lineup and the iPhone 15 series are expected to be among the first smartphones to adopt the new Qi2 wireless charging standard, according to recent reports. The Qi2 standard, introduced by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) earlier this year, promises improved charging efficiency and speed. It integrates a new Magnetic Power Profile feature for optimal charging, similar to Apple's MagSafe technology.

Qi2 wireless charging technology supports 15W charging and has foreign object identification capabilities. It is built using Apple's MagSafe technology, offering faster charging, higher efficiency, and greater convenience. The Qi2 platform is expected to be adopted industry-wide, allowing for interoperability across a broad range of devices. Qi2 wireless chargers will also be able to charge older devices.

The first Qi2 products are completing certification testing, with brands such as Anker, Belkin, Mophie, and Aircharge expected to launch Qi2 products soon. The iPhone 15 models are the first smartphones from Apple to support the Qi2 standard. However, it is unclear if iPhone 15 models will support faster wireless charging with Qi2 accessories.

Liyu Yang, a senior hardware engineer at Google and a board member of WPC, has been involved in the research and development of wireless charging systems for Pixel handsets since 2017. This suggests that the Google Pixel 9 lineup may also feature the Qi2 wireless charging technology.
