 In 2010 the WPC launched **Qi Version 1.0**. This version supported three transmitter types: **single coil, coil arrays, and moving coils**. The coils allowed power transmission of up to **5W**. However, its design flexibility was limited, meaning manufacturers could only optimise charging performance by tweaking receiver designs rather than the transmitters themselves.
-Two years later, **Qi Version 1.1** expanded the standard by introducing 12 transmitter types. This gave manufacturers more room for innovation. This version also improved **[[start|Foreign Object Detection (FOD)]]**. Another key upgrade was the ability to power Qi transmitters using USB chargers.

This version also improved **[[foreign object detection in the Qi standard|Foreign Object Detection (FOD)]]**. Another key upgrade was the ability to power Qi transmitters using USB chargers.
 The release of **Qi Version 1.2** in 2015 marked a significant step forward. The introduction of the **Extended Power Profile (EPP)** increased charging speeds to **15W**. This version also included thermal testing to improve heat management and **unique IDs for power receivers**, hence boosting efficiency and compatibility.

 By 2021, **Qi Version 1.3** further enhanced the standard by focusing on **security**. One of the major improvements was **authentication features**, ensuring safer and more reliable wireless charging.
-In 2023, WPC unveiled **Qi2**, a next-generation standard featuring the **[[start|Magnetic Power Profile (MPP)]]**. Inspired by Apple's MagSafe technology, it introduces magnetic alignment of the transmitter and receiver. This increases charging efficiency and user-friendliness. To ensure **compatibility** with earlier Qi devices, traditional BPP and EPP were updated with Qi2.
