iOS 17.4 悄然提升三年前的 iPhone 12 的無線充電速度

近期有用戶發現,蘋果悄然提升了iPhone 12的無線充電速率,使得這款已上市三年的設備支持最新的Qi2標準。



iPhone 12理論上支持15W無線充電,但第三方無線充電配件通常只能提供7.5W的充電功率。隨着Wireless Power Consortium基於MagSafe技術推出全新的Qi2標準,用戶將能夠以滿額15W速度爲設備無線充電。蘋果在發佈iPhone 12系列時引入了MagSafe技術,當時用戶只需將手機放置在任何Qi認證的無線充電器上即可充電。

通過發佈iOS 17.4,蘋果悄然提升了iPhone 12通過Qi2認證無線充電器的無線充電速率,使其與當前的蘋果旗艦機型保持同一水平。儘管此次升級並不讓人意外,因爲蘋果在去年已對iPhone 13和iPhone 14系列的無線充電速度進行了升級,但較老的iPhone型號將無緣Qi2標準帶來的高速度。

原因其實很簡單:較老的iPhone型號(如iPhone 11及更早機型)缺乏MagSafe技術。這意味着不具備MagSafe的舊款iPhone即使具備無線充電功能,也無法利用Qi2標準的優勢。

這也爲Android手機廠商提供了啓示,它們可以通過在未來的智能手機中引入類似MagSafe的設計來採用Qi2標準。據Macworld測試,在升級至iOS 17.4後,使用Qi2認證充電器爲iPhone 12充電時,確實可以實現全速15W無線充電。

Apple released one of the biggest iOS updates for the iPhone earlier this month, which brought a handful of front-facing features for users in countries that fall under the EU. The new iOS 17.4 update allows users to sideload apps on the iPhone and install third-party app stores. Despite these changes for the App Store and developers, Apple still managed to squeeze in some features for users in the North American market, especially those with an iPhone 12. It was discovered earlier that Apple has silently upgraded the wireless charging speed of the iPhone 12, bringing Qi2 support to the three-year-old iPhone. If you are unfamiliar with it, the iPhone 12 could be wirelessly charged at 15W speeds, but third-party accessories were restricted to 7.5W charging. With the arrival of the new Qi2 standard by the Wireless Power Consortium, which is based on MagSafe, users will be able to charge their devices at full 15W speeds. Apple introduced the new MagSafe technology with the launch of the iPhone 12 lineup, and at that time, users were charging their devices by simply placing them on any Qi-certified charger. With the release of iOS 17.4, Apple has silently increased the wireless charging speed of the iPhone 12 through Qi2-certified wireless chargers, allowing users to be on par with the current flagships from Apple. The update does not come as a surprise, though, as the company updated the wireless charging speeds of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 lineup last year. However, the company will not bring Qi2 speeds to older iPhone models. There is a simple reason why faster wireless charging will not be available on iPhone models older than the iPhone 12, and it has a lot to do with the company's MagSafe technology. Older iPhone models do not feature MagSafe, which are magnets arranged in a concentric circle behind the iPhone, allowing accessories and chargers to stick securely behind the device. This suggests that iPhone 11 and older models with wireless charging capabilities will not be able to utilize the Qi2 standard. This also means that Android smartphone manufacturers can utilize the Qi2 standard by offering MagSafe-like technology in future smartphones. According to tests conducted by Macworld, the iPhone 12 can be charged at full 15W wireless charging speeds when using Qi2 chargers after the iOS 17.4 update. Apple did not mention the change in iOS 17.4 release notes, but we are glad the wireless charging speeds have been upgraded.
