What does the latest iPhone 15 offer?

All models of the iPhone 15 will offer fast wireless charging at 15W using the Qi2 standard, according to leaker ChargerLab, a reliable news source. Apple has just made a significant U-turn as it had previously restricted wireless charging to 7.5W and only allowed Apple MagSafe accessories to achieve 15W. Apple is breaking new ground with its new iPhones by utilising rapid wireless charging in conjunction with USB-C wired charging on the iPhone 15.

Will iPhone wireless charging accessories be more affordable and quicker?

According to the website, "ChargerLAB has confirmed from the supply chain that Apple's MagSafe module costs approximately $16 and is the largest part of the total cost, resulting in higher retail prices." Manufacturers are not required to be MFi members, and the new Qi2 wireless charging module is less than one-third the cost of Apple's MagSafe module. This implies that market-ready wireless charging accessories will be more affordable and quicker. Qi2 uses the same magnetic ring that holds the chargers in place and is based on Apple's MagSafe standard.

Lightning connector for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16

Apple could have continued utilising the Lightning connector for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 (scheduled to debut in September 2023 and 2024, respectively), even though EU law will necessitate USB-C adoption by Apple by December 2024.

Conclusion

Furthermore, it is anticipated that iOS 17 will permit the download and installation of programmes from outside app stores. Although Apple has been under pressure from the European Union to open up the App Store, this shift was not anticipated to occur for another year. Apple has started to accept this update.

Potential iPhone 15 upgraders have a lot to look forward to because Apple is undergoing many changes. And one can only speculate as to what modifications iPhone 16 will introduce.
