Summary

  • Qi2-certified phones all have magnets; no need to worry anymore about false rumors.
  • Neodymium magnets for Qi2 charging are small, taking up little space compared to induction coils.
  • Pressure applied to Android manufacturers can encourage magnetic compatibility with existing and future accessories.

      Oh so the magnet if for sticking the power bank to the phone. Okay. I have almost zero exposure to Apple devices so I thought Magsafe is just their name for wireless charging.

        Apple helped developed the QI2 wireless charging and magsafe is also a wireless charging standard.
