Qi2 is the latest standard announced in January 2023 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) , which develops international standards for wireless power transfer. It can be charged. Qi2-compliant chargers and devices can charge at up to 15W, so regardless of the manufacturer's product, you can expect it to charge at the same 15W as an iPhone using a MagSafe charger.
