"It only feels like yesterday that the 15W Qi2 standard superseded the original Qi wireless charging standard -- Qi goes back to July 2010, while Qi2 hit the scene in April 2023 -- but now sees Qi2.2 make an appearance. This bumps up the wireless charging power to 25W and adds a raft of power management and foreign object detection features."
"One of those is Ugreen, and I've been testing their new MagFlow 10,000mAh/37Wh Qi2 25W power bank (while the standard is Qi2.2, the branding calls it Qi2 25W, yeah, confusing, I know!). That 25W wireless charging pad can take an iPhone 16 Pro Max from flat to 50% in 30 minutes, as opposed to around 45 minutes for a 15W charging pad. The power bank is airline safe, and even sports the Airline Friendly logo, so you shouldn't have any problems, even in countries such as China that are taking power banks on aircraft seriously. Putting aside the wireless charging pad's 25W potential, the MagFlow power bank has a very premium feel thanks to its soft, rubberized face and quality polymer construction. The corners are rounded, and the edges are nicely chamfered, so there are no sharp edges to poke into flesh or burst through a bag."
Qi2.2 raises wireless charging power to 25W and introduces improved power management and foreign object detection. iOS 26 adds Qi2.2 support to the iPhone 16 line except the iPhone 16e, and upcoming iPhone models are likely to gain support as well. Charger and power bank manufacturers are adopting the new standard. Ugreen’s MagFlow 10,000mAh/37Wh power bank is branded Qi2 25W, supports the faster charging rate, is airline safe, and features a rubberized face, chamfered edges, an LED capacity/charge-mode display, and a built-in 22cm USB-C cable.
