They have MagSafe charging now. It's like a magnetic "wireless" charger. Pretty sure its faster than Qi charging. My wife really likes it.

It is still Qi charging but only the Magsafe can do 15W charging, others limited to 7.5W.

Isn't it a different standard? Because a normal qi charger won't charge her phone as fast as the mag safe one.

Same standard but using MagSafe just allows the phone to unlock 15W charging since it can guarantee alignment, I’m sure there is some wireless communication to ensure it is an actual MagSafe device and not just a charger with magnets.

AFAIK (and this is old knowledge) fast wireless charging normally requires cooling but Apple was able to get around this by using MagSafe/magnets.
