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 it to us. Here is what you should know about the new X40 Turbo and Qi2.2 charging.
I have been a huge fan of Kuxiu’s 3 in 1 chargers for years. They are well-made, reliable, and offer unbeatable value. For instance, if you do not care about charging speed, their X55 3 in 1 charger is still great at under $30! But again, that only charges at 7.5W, and we are here for something much faster. Here are the specs of the brand new X40 Turbo:
25W fast charging for Qi2.2 supported devices Charges at 15W for non Qi2.2 supported devices
Fast charges Apple Watch and AirPods
25% smaller and slimmer than the original X40 stand
Never crosses 40°C, to stay cool and efficient
Comes with USB-C to USB-C braided cable, 45W power brick, and hard shell carrying case
This 3 in 1 wireless charger checks every box you need. It is rated to charge an iPhone 16 Pro from 0 to 80% in just under an hour, and the fact that it comes with a 45W charging brick is amazing. But what exactly is Qi2.2?

With all of these new charging standards, marketing terms, and ways of charging, I wanted to briefly explain the difference so you are educated when it comes to buying the correct charger. There are three main forms of wireless charging you should know:
