Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-10-17 22:55:34

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring

Next week, Apple will announce the new lineup of iPhone. The big change is the discontinuation of the iPhone 16 Plus phone, instead introducing a new thin form factor design model. This is widely expected to be branded as the iPhone 17 Air. It will feature the thinnest chassis of an iPhone ever, measuring about 5.5mm at its thinnest point. The tradeoff to achieve the strikingly-thin enclosure is a compromise on camera specs, with the model featuring just one rear lens. But the big question over
