Introduction
As of May 21, 2024, all iPhone 12-15 series phones are Qi2 certified. This means any Qi2-certified charger can provide magnetic wireless fast charging for these iPhones. UGREEN has launched a Qi2 magnetic wireless charger that supports 15W wireless fast charging for iPhones. It comes with an integrated USB-C braided cable. Its case is made of aluminum alloy to improve heat dissipation. ChargerLAB also got one. Next, let's do some tests to see how it performs.

The front of the box is printed with UGREEN, product appearance, Qi2, 15W, and other selling points.
Some specs info are printed on the back. Model is W703. It can support input of 5V3A or 9V2.22A. The maximum output power is 15W.
The box contains the UGREEN 15W Qi2 wireless charger and some documents.
The UGREEN 15W Qi2 wireless charger comes with an integrated USB-C cable.
The front surface is covered with silicone, which feels good to the touch. The Qi2 logo is printed in the center.
There is a protective cover at the connection between the cable and the charger.

The diameter of the wireless charging panel is about 60 mm (2.36 inches).
The thickness is about 11 mm (0.43 inches).
The weight is about 108 g (3.81 oz).
How well does it fit with iPhones?
The UGREEN Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Charger has obtained the latest WPC Qi2 certification and can provide 15W wireless charging for the iPhone 12-15 series, which is no different from Apple MagSafe. Next, we will take different iPhone models as examples to test its compatibility with iPhones.
It is smaller than the iPhone 13 mini and will not block the camera after being adsorbed.
The magnetic wireless charger is used with the iPhone 15. There is still a certain distance between the wireless charger and the phone frame, and there is no obstruction on the camera module.
Although the iPhone 15 Pro has a larger camera module and a relatively small body, it can be seen that its adaptability is impeccable and there is no obstruction to the camera module. It can be firmly attached to the phone and will not fall off even if it is turned upside down.
Connecting the Apple 30W original charger to the UGREEN Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Charger, the ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the power is about 0.38W when not in use, which is negligible.
It can trigger charging animation, consistent with MagSafe.
The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the input power is about 19.29W when using the wireless charger to charge the iPhone 15 Pro.
When used it to charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the input power is about 8.82V 2.20A 19.37W.
When used it to charge the iPhone 15, the input power is about 8.82V 2.20A 19.44W.
When used it to charge the AirPods Pro, the input power is about 8.87V 0.27A 2.35W.
Full Charging Test
Next, we'll use the UGREEN Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Charger to fully charge the iPhone 15. The wireless charger and the phone will be put into a 25°C (77℉) thermotank throughout the test. Here is the charging curve made by the PC software of KM003C.
The voltage is always around 9V. The charging curve can be divided into four parts. In the first part, the peak power stayed at 19W for the first 8 mins. Then, the power gradually drops to 15W, 12W, and 8W in turn. The final part begins at 1 hour and 23 mins, and the power slowly drops to almost zero. It takes 1 hour and 50 mins to fully charge the iPhone 15.
We plot it into another curve to see how fast it can be. It can charge the iPhone 15 to 50% in 38 mins and 80% in 1 hour and 7 mins, and it reaches 100% in 1 hour and 50 mins.
Temperature Test
Then, we are going to the temperature test. We put the charger into a 25°C (75℉) thermotank. And recorded the highest temperature after charging the iPhone 15 for 1 hour.
After 1 hour of charging, the highest temperature of the contact surface between the phone and the wireless charger is 40.6 ℃ (105.08 ℉). At this time, the charging power is about 8W.
Summary of ChargerLAB
UGREEN Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Charger continues its usual design style with an aluminum alloy case. It comes with a non-detachable braided cable, 1.5 meters long, which is suitable for daily use. The braided cable has good workmanship and is not easy to wear and tear, which can extend its lifespan.
It can provide a wireless charging power of up to 15W for iPhone 12-15 series. It is also compatible with other phones, headphones, etc. It can charge the iPhone 15 to 50% in 38 mins and 80% in 1 hour and 7 mins, and it reaches 100% in 1 hour and 50 mins. Even after an hour of charging, its maximum temperature is only 41.4°C (105.08 ℉), and it feels only a little warm to the touch. If you have wireless charging needs, then this Qi2-certified charger is a good choice.
