Wireless charging has had an intriguing evolution, especially in relation to iPhones. While Android devices adopted wireless charging technology early on, Apple was slow to jump on board, only integrating Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in 2017. At that time, the charging was limited to 7.5W and lacked efficiency. Recent advancements, including MagSafe and the Qi2 standard, increased iPhone charging capabilities to 15W. Now, with Qi2.2 emerging, charging is faster, more efficient, and cooler, thanks to pioneers like Kuxiu, who are the first to bring this technology to consumers.
My longstanding admiration for Kuxiu’s 3-in-1 chargers stems from their durability, quality, and affordability. For those not concerned with the fastest charging speeds, the X55 model at under $30 remains a solid choice, though it only delivers 7.5W. However, for those seeking rapid wireless power, the new X40 Turbo stands out. This compact, lightweight, and stylish device is crafted from CNC aluminum, giving a premium feel. It promises to charge an iPhone 16 Pro from 0% to 80% in just under an hour, supported by a 45W charging brick.
So, what exactly is Qi2.2? It’s the latest standard that enhances wireless charging efficiency, speed, and safety. The X40 Turbo, supporting this standard, ensures you get high wattage, minimal heat, and fast power delivery—making wireless charge comparable to wired options in convenience and speed.
During testing with an iPhone 16 Pro at 10%, the X40 Turbo consistently delivered around 24W of power. It sometimes touched 25W before stabilizing, providing a steady, high-speed charge. The charger ran only mildly warm after half an hour—well within safe limits—and managed to boost my phone from 10% to 80% in under 50 minutes. This performance makes it an excellent daily driver and travel companion.
Which iPhones support Qi2.2? Currently, the newest models like the iPhone 15 and 16 series are compatible, bringing the latest charging efficiencies. For those interested, a detailed comparison between old and new wireless charging standards highlights how Qi2.2 finally makes wireless charging a truly practical everyday solution. Supported by innovative chargers like the X40 Turbo, users can experience faster, safer, and cooler wireless power.
