Apple's New MagSafe Chargers to Boost iPhone 17 Series with 50W Qi 2.2 Wireless Charging
  • Apple is set to enhance its MagSafe chargers by adopting the Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard, which promises significant upgrades in charging capabilities, particularly for the upcoming iPhone 17 series.

  • The new chargers will support a maximum charging speed of 50W, compared to the current models rated at 45W, indicating a notable improvement in efficiency.

  • Documentation filed with Taiwan's NCC regulator reveals two new MagSafe charger models designed for faster charging speeds.

  • This regulatory filing was uncovered by 91mobiles on the NCC website, which oversees telecommunications in Taiwan.

  • Images and paperwork from the filing confirm that testing has been conducted with both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 16.

  • The NCC's certification indicates that there will be two variants of the new MagSafe model, differentiated by the length of the USB-C cable.

  • Both new charger models will maintain the traditional round design and come with braided cables available in either 1-meter or 2-meter lengths.

  • Apple's commitment to faster wireless charging reflects its readiness to innovate while ensuring device compatibility and user safety.

  • Since the introduction of MagSafe technology with the iPhone 12 in 2020, it is anticipated that all subsequent iPhones will be compatible with these new chargers.

  • While it remains uncertain if Apple will fully double the charging wattages, the certification suggests that some increase in charging speed is likely.

  • Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September 2025, which will include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, but notably exclude the iPhone 17 Plus.

  • The certifications also indicate support for USB Power Delivery (PD) with a maximum output of 15V at 3A (45W), hinting at potential for faster charging beyond the existing 15W limit of current MagSafe systems.
