Apple’s MagSafe inspires new Qi2 wireless charging

Devices coming later this year

Published

on

From its early beginnings as an imperfect and slow standard, wireless charging is now making strides for a true alternative to wired charging. A lot of the standard’s recent successes owe quite a bit to the popularity of Apple’s MagSafe technology. Furthering this point, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has announced that the upcoming Qi2 is inspired by the advances of MagSafe.

Today, the WPC announced the coming of the new wireless charging standard later this year. The Qi2 standard aims to improve charging speeds by focusing on the magnets that make the system work. Apple, who is also a member of the WPC, lent inspiration for the Qi2’s Magnetic Power Profile.

Part of what makes Apple’s MagSafe technology effective is how the magnets are positioned. Because of the positioning, iPhones with the technology automatically snap in place according to the best position to charge the most efficiently.

Going forward, devices with the upcoming Qi2 compatibility will follow the same system, ensuring that wireless charging is up to speed. While a lot of smartphones outside of Apple already come with wireless charging compatibility, Apple is still popularizing the standard a lot with its system.

Besides improving charging for devices with compatibility right out of the box, the new standard will also introduce wireless charging for non-flat devices which commonly can’t support the standard in the first place.

Certified devices are expected to come out sometime during the holiday season this year.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.
