Qi2 vs MagSafe: The Wireless Charging Showdown
September 29, 2024 - Qi2 chargers often come with built-in temperature sensors that can adjust the charging speed dynamically, ensuring that the device remains within a safe operating temperature range. MagSafe takes thermal management a step further.

r/MagSafe on Reddit: So, just to be clear, Qi2 and Magsafe is the same thing right? Just named different because Magsafe is Apple?
February 3, 2024 -

I know Qi1 is limited to 7.5W charging speeds. And Qi2 is 15W. Magsafe is 15W as well.

I'm getting the S24U with the DBrand Magsafe case. However, trying to find a charger I actually like is difficult.

There's some Magsafe chargers I like, but want to make sure it'll still charge my phone at the faster speeds.

Does iPhone 15 Support Qi2?

Yes, the iPhone 15 supports Qi2. The iPhone 15 can be charged without plugging it in! It works with special charging pads that use a technology called Qi2. It can also be charged with a magnetic pad called MagSafe, which charges it really fast (up to 15W). And if you don't have those, it can still be charged with a regular pad, but a little slower (up to 7.5W).

r/MagSafe on Reddit: Magnetic Qi vs Qi2: Which produces less heat?
March 6, 2025 -

I'm trying to decide between a magnetic Qi charging station (7.5W) and the Qi2 version (15W) of the same model for my iPhone 14 Plus based on what is best for battery health. I don't care about charging speed as I only plan to use the charger overnight. So, normally I would opt for a 7.W charger over a 15W charger as slower is generally better for battery health. But what about heat?

Qi2 supposedly generates less heat because it is more efficient. However, this particular Qi charger uses "magflow" to attach the iPhone magnetically. So would that negate most of the inefficiency typically caused by poor aligment? Or will the Qi2 charger run cooler, even if it is charging the iPhone at 15W?

TL/dr: Will a 7.5W Qi magnetic charger create more heat at 7.5W than a Qi2 magnetic charger creates at 15W?

Qi2 Wireless Charging Vs MagSafe: Which One is Better? - ESR
January 21, 2024 - With the introduction of Qi2, chargers will no longer need to be certified by Apple to support 15W charging. Instead, they must meet the technical requirements set by the WPC. Furthermore, by eliminating the certification fee imposed by Apple for MagSafe, manufacturers can produce cheaper chargers that match the speed of Apple-certified chargers.

Apple Magsafe VS Anker MagGo Qi2

Hi! I want to buy a wireless charger puck for my S24 mostly for practicality and to try to preserve USB connector as usually for me is the main reason for phone replacement.

These are the current options I have in mind (Europe prices) (I´m fully open to new suggestions):

Apple Magsafe Charger: 37€

https://www.amazon.fr/Apple-MHXH3ZM-A-Chargeur-MagSafe/dp/B08L5R6ZHP/

Anker MagGo Qi2: 33€

https://www.amazon.fr/Anker-Chargeur-Induction-Compatible-Alimentation/dp/B0CMH2JVMM/

Giving the little price difference I tend to think the Apple as a better Price/quality purchase but I wonder about Android compatibility, charging speeds and magnet attachment force.

Thanks for your help!
