This Qi2 car mount is cheaper than the MagSafe charger and can charge your iPhone 15 faster -Gudstory

A new car mount for your smartphone has just launched that offers a rare combo: Qi2 wireless charging at high speeds — and at a reasonable price. The Qi2 car mount from accessories maker ESR offers 15W wireless charging to quickly charge your iPhone 15 and 15 Pro to its maximum capacity on the go.

With a launch price of $30.99, the new car mount is less expensive than many other 15W MagSafe-compatible chargers on the market. For comparison, Apple’s standard MagSafe charger (not for use in a car) costs $39. Many MagSafe car mounts (like this mount from Belkin) cost twice that much.

ESR’s new car mount is Qi2-certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, meaning it will work with any Qi2-compatible device. The company says its Qi2 car mount can fully charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max in just two and a half hours.

Currently, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro are the only Qi2-certified smartphones. It appears that Android smartphone makers are still working on it. According to android policeSamsung decided not to include Qi2 in the Galaxy 24 because the product was in development before the wireless standard was complete.

Qi2 was announced in January 2023, but only recently have devices started to surface that are certified to work with the new charging standard. Even in September 2023, with the standard being finalized, the iPhone 15 could only promise that it would eventually support Qi2 — the certification process wasn’t ready yet. But progress has been made since then, and dozens of Qi2 products from Anker, Belkin, Baseus and other companies have been certified. As more Qi2 charging accessories come to market, we’ll likely see more lower-priced options.
