The one thing that’s been bugging me, and this updated standard fails to address, is that many devices that would benefit from wireless charging are too small for Qi and MagSafe (ex. bicycle lights, toothbrushes and grooming products, etc.)

A mini-Qi based on the Apple Watch charger, or a smaller ring of magnets inside with a compatible charging coil, would have been really outstanding… I feel like this standard is just another thing that will have to be revised in 3-5 years.

Sonicare toothbrushes will -almost- work with a qi charger. They’ll turn on and flash the charging symbol for a second
