As per a leak by the power specialist website ChargerLab, all iPhone 15 models are expected to support fast 15W wireless charging using the Qi2 open standard.

This will be a major upgrade considering that iPhone models are currently limited to a maximum charging speed of 7.5W.

Currently, only products that have Apple's official MagSafe module can offer 15W wireless charging.

Qi2 adheres to Apple's MagSafe standard, including support for the distinct halo-like ring of magnets that securely attach the charger to the phone.

"The quotation of the new Qi2 wireless charging module is less than one-third of Apple's MagSafe module, and the manufacturer does not need to be a member of MFi," the report suggested.

Apart from this wireless technology, iPhone 15 is also rumoured to get a new charging port – the USB-C while replacing the lightning port.
