KUXIU X40 TURBO 25W WIRELESS CHARGING STATION: TINY CHARGER HITS TOP SPEEDS

It wasn't so long ago that 15W MagSafe was the fastest any magnetic wireless charger could output power to an iPhone? Since the launch of the latest Qi 2.2 technology, charger manufacturers have been racing to bring out wireless gadgets at the new top 25W speed.

While Apple was first to 25W, that speed was limited to just its one-trick pony MagSafe Charger (fave.co/448ztaw), a solid but solitary pad on the end of a variable length cable.

Since then, multi-device chargers have appeared matching the 25W Apple charger at its claimed 50% iPhone charge in “around 30 minutes.”

The Qi 2.2 takes 15W Qi2 and revs up the power output to a possible 25W for the iPhone 16 and 17 models.

Qi 2.2 (aka Qi2 25W, fave.co/3PyXYqp) is a new tech that takes 15W Qi2 and revs up the power output to a possible 25W for the iPhone 16 and 17 models—excluding the 16e (not magnetic for some reason) and iPhone Air (limited to 20W, probably for thermal management reasons).

Crafted from anodized aluminum alloy, the X40 Turbo feels robust despite its diminutive size.
