The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) standards group today announced that "Qi2 25W" will be the brand for version 2.2.1 of the Qi wireless charging standard. Qi2 25W, as its name implies, brings faster 25-watt charging compared to the 15-watt charging of standard Qi2. The WPC also revealed that Apple will adopt Qi2 25W in its iPhones, and many Android phones are already in the certification pipeline as well. 14 devices have already been certified for Qi2 25W, with "several hundred devices waiting in the queue to be tested." Existing Qi2 products, such as the current iPhones, are the result of a collaboration between WPC and Apple, incorporating technology from both the original Qi standard and Apple's MagSafe implementation. Although many Android phones have implemented Qi, almost none have implemented Qi2 yet; today's news implies that will soon charge.
