Anker Just Released a Bunch of Qi2 Charging Accessories You’re Probably Going to Want

Anker has rolled out several new Qi2 wireless chargers and power banks that will charge recent MagSafe-enabled iPhones at faster 15-watt speeds. Here’s a look at all the new chargers, some of which are now available.

Anker only announced one new audio product at CES 2024 — the Soundcore Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker — but it is showing off a slew of new Qi2-certified wireless charging products. These include everything from pricier wireless charging stations to new magnetic power banks to a basic wireless charging puck.

Qi2-certified wireless chargers offer 15-watt fast charging capabilities and are fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of standard 7.5W wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhone 13, 14 and 15 models and Android smartphones that support 15W wireless charging.
