So, now is the iPhone 12 mini also supports the Qi2 15W wireless charging after this update?
Also, can someone please confirm the same 15W wireless charging with Qi2 on the iPhone 13 mini as well???
Those who are 100% sure please do reply.
Thanks in advance...

Wireless charging damage the battery. Virtually useless.

Where was your brain gone when you were using lightning charger? Hypocrisy at its best.

But why would you charge at 15w when you can charge at 50w-70w by purchasing a charger from the manufacturer. Most people who buy iPhones buy a charger from Apple when purchasing their iPhones. How is this any different?

Your being very dismissive and reductive
Pushing to mass production rarer (in the smartphone industry)battery chemistry:
Honor details Magic 6 Pro's second-generation silicon
They are not just splitting the battery physically but they are also making the current itself flow in parallel.. check out what MTT charge is..
They are going out of their way manufacturing chipset just for charging itself
They are trying to raising charge cycles standards to 1600
Implementing bigger vapor champers and in niche cases like Nubia having physical fans to support the fast charging
Even in instances where Chinese OEMs didn't even the technology they help pioneer the technology to bring t to market
If all of this still doesn't convince you just remember if they aren't doing anything special then what does that say about apple and Samsung

IpsDisplay, 29 Mar 2024Chinese OEMs are justified to use proprietary technology
... moreThe Chinese ar not doing anything fancy. All they did was dividing the battery into two parts and charge both at the same time. That's how they can claim 100W charging. It's not charging a single battery at 100W, but it's charging two batteries at 50W each. But obviously it requires proprietary cable and charger.
We already have fast charging standard. It's called USB-PD. It is being used on laptops as well. And for wireless, we have qi 2 that also includes magsafe like connectivity. I'll take an open standard anytime over some proprietary BS.

Reason being because fast charging technology has not yet reached that /maturity as yet
Let's look at an example of the past:
Remember when everyone laughed at Samsung for pioneering phablet sized screens? That was the experimentation era .. and now designs have converged
Now is the time for all the experimentations, battery chemistry etc

Anonymous, 29 Mar 2024You say wireless but it has wires on photo :( Correct itthat's the thing, there is no true wireless charging (yet), rather it's inductive charging that's overhyped by calling it wirelss.

Chinese OEMs using proprietary fast charging that only works with their own chargers and cables: yayyy!

Remember, iPhones lack features not because Apple can’t put them…. it’s because they don’t want to. Small global share, yet it’s the highest valued tech company in the world???
