Adam Kos The performance of wireless charging on iPhones remains a puzzle for many. Why does one charger provide 15W and the other only 7,5W? Apple is reducing the performance of non-certified chargers simply to sell its MFM licenses. But now, maybe it will finally come to its senses, and it will also unlock the higher speed for chargers without this label.
It's only a rumor so far, but it's so beneficial that you want to start believing it right away. According to her, the iPhone 15 will support 15W wireless fast charging even when using third-party chargers that do not have the appropriate certification. In order to be able to use the full charging performance on iPhone 12 and later, you must have either an original Apple MagSafe charger or a third-party charger that is marked with the MFM (Made For MagSafe) certification, which in many cases means nothing more than that Apple simply paid for this label. If the charger is not certified, the power is reduced to 7,5 W.

Qi2 is a game changer
Although the speculation is not yet verified in any way, the fact that we have the Qi2 standard in front of us, which actually adopts the MagSafe technology to provide it on Android devices, of course with Apple's permission, adds to it. Since he will no longer claim any "tithes" there, it makes no practical sense for him to do so on the home platform. The goal here is for phones and other battery-powered mobile products in general to be perfectly matched with chargers for better energy efficiency and faster charging. Smartphones and Qi2 chargers are expected to be available after summer 2023.

In the area of charging iPhones, a big earthquake will now quite possibly happen, because let's not forget that the iPhones 15 should come with a USB-C connector instead of the current Lightning. Here again, however, there is lively speculation as to whether Apple will somehow limit its charging speeds in order to keep its MFi, i.e. Made For iPhone, program alive. But in light of the current news, it wouldn't make sense, and we can really hope that Apple has come to its senses and will serve its customers more than its wallets.
On the other hand, it should be mentioned that it can be assumed that Apple will only provide 15 W to those chargers that are already of the Qi2 standard. So if you already have some third-party wireless chargers at home without the appropriate certification, they may still be limited to the current 7,5 W. But we won't get confirmation of this until September. Let's just add that the competition can already charge wirelessly with a power exceeding 100 W.
And chaos begins! There is a reason why fast charging is limited!
