WPC Questions Nothing's $10M Qi2 MagSafe Cost Claim

The claim that it costs $10 million to add Qi2 magnets to Android phones is false; the Wireless Power Consortium confirmed that the cost is much lower, and the high estimate was likely due to a misunderstanding about licensing and implementation costs. The Pixel 10's use of Qi2 magnets marks a significant update, but the actual costs and licensing are manageable, especially for members of the WPC.
