IPhone 15 will open 15W wireless fast charging!– ChangZhou Sun-Rise Electronic Co.,Ltd.

Foreword

Recently, Charging Head Network learned from the industry that Apple iPhone 15 will support 15W wireless fast charging.

This message is not many words, but the amount of information is very large.

In summary, the following key points deserve the attention of practitioners in the wireless charging industry:

1. iPhone 15W is no longer encrypted, and it can be compatible with Qi2 certification

2. Qi2 will support Apple's previous iPhones with Magsafe magnetic attraction function

3. Apple’s accessories ecology will move from closed to open

Since the release of iPhone8 in September 2017, AirPower multi-coil wireless charging was unveiled for the first time at the press conference, officially announcing Apple's entry into the wireless charging market. However, fruit fans have waited for several years, and failed to wait for AirPower. Instead, they waited for Apple's official announcement. Due to the difficulty in research and development and the immature technology, the product was eventually skipped and became a swan song.

Among the iPhone 12 models released in October 2020, Apple once again called for wireless charging, but this time it brought Magsafe magnetic suction wireless charging, which can absorb and charge with a tick, so that Apple fans can once again ignite their expectations for wireless charging.

As an observer of the wireless charging industry, Charging Head Network has also noticed the change of Apple's wireless charging technology route. 14) The market cultivation has fully demonstrated that precise alignment and efficient charging are far more in line with the current wireless charging experience of smart terminals than the multi-coil solution.

After Apple passed hundreds of millions of iPhone shipment demonstrations, iPhone 15 still supports Magsafe magnetic suction wireless charging, and recommends Qi2 as Apple's approved wireless charging technology compatible with iPhone models. Apple not only endorses Qi2, but also provides "tens of billions of subsidies" and ecological construction for the wireless charging industry. This will bring unprecedented benefits to the industry, are you ready?

Apple's "10 billion subsidy"

As we all know, MFi (the English abbreviation of Apple's "Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad") is an ecological chain that Apple has cultivated for many years. Tripartite personalized and diversified accessories. In recent years, Apple's original Magsafe magnetic suction module is a new member of the MFi ecosystem. Apple's accessory partners apply to Apple for purchasing modules, and then design them into the best-selling 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 multi-function wireless chargers on the market.

Charging Head Network learned from the supply chain that the public price of Apple Magsafe magnetic suction module is about 16 US dollars, about 112.5 RMB. Downstream manufacturers need to pay cash in advance to order the module from Apple's authorized distributors, and the order cycle can be as long as several months. Taking 100,000 purchases as an example, the one-time investment exceeds tens of millions of yuan.

The single, double and triple Magsafe magnetic wireless chargers authorized by MFi on the market range in price from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan. Here, the magnetic module occupies the bulk of the cost, and the final retail price will also be passed on to consumers. on the head.

The external quotation of the new Qi2 wireless charging module is less than one-third of Apple's original magnetic suction module. In this way, it is no longer necessary to become a member of MFi to produce wireless charging compatible with Apple’s iPhone, and it is not necessary to purchase Apple’s designated magnetic suction module. At that time, many new products compatible with iPhone wireless fast charging will be launched on the market, which can be called Apple’s contribution to the wireless charging industry. "Ten Billion Subsidies".

Apple's new product launch event this fall will bring double surprises, including wireless charging and wired charging for the new iPhone.

Apple's new product launch this fall, the new iPhone's wireless charging and wired charging will bring double surprises

Build an ecological chain

The charging head network inquired about the WPC official website, and in the newly announced list of board members, Apple is at the top, which shows its status and importance in promoting the Qi2 standard.

People in the industry boldly predict that Apple's push for Qi2 this time will push the WPC wireless charging ecological chain to the sea of stars.

Why do you say that?

This will mark that Apple has moved from closed to open in the accessories ecology. Sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self.

According to the previous style of Apple MFi, the technology of pressing the bottom of the box is exclusive. This time Qi2 wireless charging adopts a two-wheel drive mode in ecological construction, combining standards and markets. It is worth mentioning that Qi2 will be fully integrated with Apple Magsafe magnetic wireless charging, and you can enter the Apple wireless charging ecosystem without joining the Apple MFi membership.

Not only that, Apple's plan for Qi2 ecological construction includes the market of billions of devices such as mobile phones and tablets; the open Qi2 ecology also throws an olive branch to Android manufacturers, so that wireless charging will no longer be divided into camps.

In the promotion of Qi2 ecology, compared with the previous wireless charging ecology, many highlights have been introduced, such as

1. Two-way authentication mechanism. In addition to the wireless charging master, the transmitter (TX) also needs to be equipped with a dedicated authentication chip

2. Wireless charging needs to pass the Qi2 MPP test to enjoy 15W wireless fast charging

3. The laboratory Qi2 test equipment needs to be newly purchased, and WPC has recommended a list of authorized test equipment

The starting point of Qi2 is 15W. In the future, the power will be upgraded and iterated. More power is still on the way, which is worth looking forward to.

Good for the development of the industrial chain

Standards drive the market and lead technology development.

The market is the touchstone for the success of a standard, and technological changes that bring convenience to consumers will also benefit industry practitioners.

Apple stands in line with the Qi2 standard to improve the wireless charging experience and foster ecological construction. It is foreseeable that the diversification trend of product forms is coming, and we look forward to seeing more amazing wireless charging applications.

The following wireless charging industry chains will also benefit and be fully activated, such as

Master chip

power component

MLCC

Coil

magnet

Magnetic isolation sheet

laboratory

factory

brand owner

Channel provider
