Okay is Apple really giving away Magsafe to Android So if you've been wireless charging pretty much anything for the past 15 years, there's a good chance you've been using something using the Chi standard. So I don't know where We get this press release announcing G2 which is an update which is supposed to be much more power efficient and adds magnets. So it turns out Apple has effectively collaborated with the Wireless Power Consortium to contribute the foundations of Magsafe to the standard which is these magnet arrays. So anything that's G2 certified will use a specific array and strength of magnets to meet the standard including potential future Android Phones? Yes! So why would Apple do this? Well, two theories.
One is we do see Apple slowly moving towards potentially not having a port at all in the iPhone So if they can slowly Usher the entire industry towards wireless charging and that's a win for them. But then number two is just control. Because let's be honest, if Apple is contributing to the standard, then they will have a lot of influence over how it works. So while Magsafe is a little bit more than just the magnet array, they are effectively giving it away.
Yes! and I'm also looking forward to snapping Android phones in place on wireless chargers? Yes please!.
What is actually the point of wireless charging if you need to place the device in a specific location for it to charge? You're still tethered to that location if you want to charge and arguably it gives you LESS freedom than a cable. Not to mention it's an extra cost to put in phones and the inherent power inefficiencies. What's the point, just plug your phone in!
You can already buy metal rings that stick to the back of phones. This allows an android phone to wireless charge and "stick" to theese wireless chargers.
Remember everything Apple does is for money so read that into here as well

This is what there last press conference that they got ask about the issue in Europe that they will ban anything that is not a usb type c so i think for their safety of there company they will rather just let go and let other companies have the magsafe
