Here’s everything you need to know about iPhone 11 wireless charging, including the best charging solutions from iHome.

Does the iPhone 11 Have Wireless Charging?

That’s right! The iPhone 11 is fully compatible with Qi wireless charging, a feature Apple first brought to its devices with the iPhone 8 series. Just place it on any Qi-enabled charging pad, and it’ll power up without the need for cables. While it lacks MagSafe support, it still delivers a convenient and efficient wireless charging experience.

Understanding the Qi Standard

Qi (pronounced "chee") is a universal wireless charging standard that allows devices to charge without a physical connection. Because Apple integrated Qi wireless charging into its devices, the iPhone 11 is compatible with any Qi-enabled charging pad. Just set it down, and it’ll start charging—no cords required.

Wireless Charging Speed on iPhone 11

• The iPhone 11 charges at a maximum of 7.5W on wireless chargers.

• Some Qi chargers support up to 15W fast charging, but the iPhone 11 is limited to 7.5W for safe and efficient power delivery.

• If you need faster charging, Apple’s Lightning to USB-C cable with a 20W adapter will charge the iPhone 11 much quicker than wireless options.

Common Misconceptions

• Only the Pro models have wireless charging – False

• All three models in the iPhone 11 lineup—the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max—come with wireless charging capabilities. Just place them on a Qi-compatible charging pad, and they’ll start charging effortlessly.

• All wireless chargers work the same – False

• Cheap, uncertified chargers may not provide a stable connection or could even damage your battery.

To get the best experience, it’s important to choose a trusted wireless charger—and iHome offers some of the best options available.

How Wireless Charging Works on the iPhone 11

Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to move power from the charger to your phone.

1. The charging pad contains a coil that generates an electromagnetic field.

2. The iPhone 11 has a receiving coil that picks up the energy and converts it into power for the battery.

3. Charging starts automatically when the phone is properly placed on the pad.

Factors That Affect Wireless Charging Performance

• Case Thickness – Bulky or metal cases can block wireless charging.

• Alignment – Properly centering the phone on the charging pad is essential.

• Charger Wattage – A higher wattage charger doesn’t always guarantee faster charging for the iPhone 11.

To ensure fast and reliable wireless charging, consider iHome’s Qi-certified wireless chargers, designed for both efficiency and convenience.
