As mentioned, Qi2 is fully cross-compatible with MagSafe (orig), including the alignment of the magnetic ring. Apple did enhance MagSafe in Q3 2024, which I believe was essentially just adding 25W charging (to both devices and the new charger).

See this article (and others via Google) for more:

Apple is serious about sustainability, which is important if you want billions of smartphone users to move to wireless charging. That likely explains why it has put its MagSafe tech forward as a standard for use by others via the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

The WPC announced Qi2 at CES 2023. The standard is based on Apple’s MagSafe tech, which magnetically connects the device to the charger and holds both in place for a strong charge connection.
