Good to know
  • A USB-C PD wall charger still fast-charges a Lightning iPhone using a USB-C to Lightning cable (Apple: 50% in about 30 minutes with a 20W adapter).
  • Lightning accessories (cables, docks, wired headphones) do not plug into iPhone 15 or later; they need a USB-C to Lightning adapter, and docks may not fit physically.
  • Qi2 and MagSafe chargers also charge Qi-only phones, but at reduced (baseline Qi) speed and without guaranteed magnetic hold on phones lacking magnets.
  • Apple: non-MagSafe Qi-compatible devices charge at reduced speeds on the MagSafe Charger.
  • Thick or metal cases, PopSockets and card wallets can block wireless charging.
  • Qi2 25W (Qi2.2) chargers work on Qi2 15W phones at the phone’s lower maximum.
