The article discusses the introduction of Qi2 Ready cases designed to work seamlessly with Qi2 chargers. While this innovation benefits users of MagSafe Android phone cases, it highlights limitations, especially with OnePlus' flagship phone not supporting Qi2 natively. Users can experience issues when removing these cases, as magnetic functionality ceases, which can frustrate those who prefer no case. Despite its drawbacks, the Qi2 Ready cases are seen as a favorable option for budget and midrange smartphones, although they may create confusion among consumers regarding compatibility with Qi and Qi2 products.
It's worth noting that OnePlus' latest flagship phone, the OnePlus 13, is not a Qi2 Ready phone... with basic Qi support, and it will not turn your phone into a Qi2 device.
Alas, as soon as you take these Qi2 Ready cases off the phone, the magnetic functionality disappears... pour one out for the case-less fiends.
I think Qi2 Ready phones are an acceptable in-between measure. Considering it's cheaper than embedding magnets into a phone, I hope it means more budget and midrange smartphones can enjoy Qi2 capabilities.
New phones will support Qi but not Qi2, but they'll have Qi2 Ready cases... it does stink for those of us who don't like using a case.
