ESR Qi2 wireless chargers for iPhone and other devices

The new Qi2 wireless charging standard is similar to MagSafe. After all, Apple helped develop Qi2.

Like MagSafe, it delivers up to 15W of charging power and uses magnetic alignment to improve charging speed. It helps ensure optimal charging power and minimal power waste for efficiency.

The original Qi standard saw limits at 5-watt charging speeds. Qi2 allows certified phones to charge at 15 watts. Any Qi2 charger can charge any Qi2 device. Additionally, the latest iOS 17.4 update has also unlocked Qi2 support for iPhone 12.

ESR said it already offers the biggest, fastest collection of 15W MagSafe chargers and accessories. The collection of 15W Qi2 and Apple-certified MagSafe chargers delivers full-speed charging wherever and whenever needed. The launch of this Qi2 collection is the company’s next step in the market.

This little gadget provides fast, convenient and compact iPhone charging. It fast-charges compatible iPhones at 15W.

We couldn’t find in on Amazon, however, but it’s said to be coming soon.

“The world’s first Qi2 Car Charger brings safe and reliable 15W fast charging to the car,” ESR said. It’s an upgrade on the company’s best-selling Car Charger for MagSafe. Qi2 certification ensures safe and reliable 15W fast charging for iPhones. Designed for iPhone 13 series and later, it features strong magnets with a holding force of 1,600g, and a 3-point vent mount with support arm. That keeps things steady even on bumpy roads.

The car charger offers convenient mounting options via the included dashboard anchor or its secure air vent for ultimate flexibility. The adjustable ball joint and full ring of magnets enable precise angle adjustment in portrait or landscape mode for comfortable viewing at any angle.

It also includes a small, lightweight USB-C portable watch charger to power up on the go via numerous devices for tangle-free magnetic wireless watch charging anytime, anywhere. Its compact, lightweight design makes taking it on the go easy, and its all-in-one charging capability takes the stress out of staying powered up when traveling.
