Apple’s iPhone 16 range will support faster charging speeds, not just through MagSafe, but wired too.
Appleannounced theiPhone16 line up during itsGlowtime eventon 9 September. A number of new features were introduced, including the Camera Control button on all models and support forApple Intelligencewhen it arrives in a couple of months.
The company also revealed that theiPhone 16 modelsall had larger battery capacities and would support faster charging through MagSafe. That’s up to 25W now rather than the previous 15W.
There was, however, no mention of what the wired charging speeds offered were. The spec sheets don’t detail wired charging speeds either, nor the footnotes or small print at the bottom.
Don’t worry though, because people have been doing some digging and it’s good news for those that wanted speedier charging. We’re not talking over 100W like someAndroid phonesso manage your expectations a little, but according toShrimpApplePro on X(via9to5Mac) the iPhone 16 models all support up to 45W of wired fast charging though the USB-C port.
The information comes from new certifications from a regulatory body in China - China Quality Certifications Centre, and the figure matches the likes ofSamsung’s Galaxy S24 rangeandGoogle’s Pixel 9range. It’s also over 50 per cent faster than the iPhone 15 line up, which topped out at just under the 30W mark.
The official specs for the Apple iPhone 16 models claim the devices will offer 50 per cent in around 30 minutes with a 20W or higher adapter and USB-C cable, or 30W adapter when using the MagSafe charger. They also support Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W, and Qi2 wireless charging is supported too.
