The Qi2 standard was officially finalized in 2023. Qi2 accessories are compatible with iPhones equipped with MagSafe (going back to 2020’s iPhone 12), but no Android manufacturers included Qi2 in their phones until the Pixel 10 series last year. Many phones that lack Qi2 charging do have case options that allow for the use of magnetic accessories, however.
If you’ve got a Qi2-compatible phone and want magnetic charging without buying a new car, you might consider a third-party charging mount. Still, the inclusion is a nice little upgrade in cars that do ship with it. Hopefully we’ll see more of this from other manufacturers going forward.
