JAKARTA At the end of last year, Apple presented Qi2 support to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. Initially, Qi2 support was not expected to be present in the iPhone 12 series, but this estimate turned out to be wrong. Apple never announced that the iPhone 12 will get Qi2 wireless charger support like the iPhone 13 and above. The company quietly added such support when launching iOS 17.4 in March. With Qi2 support, the iPhone 12 could use a magnetic charger using Apple-made MagSafe technology. This technology with 15W could make charging much faster than the cable charger. Qi2 support on the iPhone 12 was first discovered by Macworld. One of the wireless chargers, Belkin, confirmed that their artificial device would support 15W charging on compatible phones, including the iPhone 12.

Anker, another wireless charging manufacturer, also said the same thing. Although Qi2's support for the iPhone 12 has been confirmed by various parties, Apple still hasn't commented. In fact, the iPhone 12 deserves Qi2 support because this phone is the first device powered by MagSafe technology. With the addition of the iPhone 12 to a compatible list of devices, the entire iPhone MagSafe is now Qi2. Qi2 wireless chargers are the open standards needed by some iPhone users. To date, iPhone chargers are limited to 7.5W so users who want to charge quickly can use Qi2 technology.
