  • Neodymium magnets for Qi2 charging are small, taking up little space compared to induction coils.
  • Pressure applied to Android manufacturers can encourage magnetic compatibility with existing and future accessories.

        Okay so not exactly zero, but until a heavy hitter like Samsung won’t even consider, worldwide adoption is going to be low - their flagship just stuck with Qi 1, even though the standard existed for about two or three years at this point.
