Qi2 without magnets: MagSafe alternative causes confusion with misleading marketing

The Qi2 standard was announced at the beginning of 2023 and is technically near-identical to Apple's MagSafe (as known from the iPhone 15). This is by no means a coincidence, as the technology behind the standard was made available to the Wireless Power Consortium by Apple.

This has advantages for everyone involved: Qi2 accessories are compatible with the iPhone and are cheaper, as no fees have to be paid to Apple, while buyers of Android smartphones with Qi2 support can also use MagSafe accessories. At launch, Wireless Power Consortium announced that Qi2 consists of two components: the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which allows for the magnetic attachment of accessories and for precise alignment on a charger, and the Extended Power Profile (EPP), which enables wireless charging with up to 15 watts on Qi2 chargers, but does not necessarily require magnets.
