Which iPhone Models Support or Do Not Support Wireless Charging
You may see a wireless charging accessory on sale, and you may want to buy it. However, you may not know if you can use it with your iPhone. Not all iPhone models support the wireless charging feature.
Charging our phones has become a part of our daily lives. Wireless chargers may offer great convenience, even though it is not completely wireless. The convenience is that you do not need to connect a cable to your iPhone. Placing your device on a charger is all that you need.
A lot of users may have never used this feature, even if their device supports it. In this article, I explain which iPhone models you can use or can’t use with a wireless charger.
All iPhone models introduced in 2017 and later come with this feature. More specifically, the following models have this handy feature. I also list the models without this feature. Most iPhones support the Qi standard. Qi is the internationally accepted standard for wireless charging technology. This means that if your device supports wireless technology, you can use a Qi-certified charger. However, some iPhones also support MagSafe or MagSafe Duo.
There are many manufacturers that make Qi-certified accessories. This means that you can buy from a lot of different places. While MagSafe chargers are made by Apple and only Apple and Apple-authorized resellers sell these.
