The wireless recharge of your iPhone has experienced several developments since 2017, the year of its arrival on iPhone. At the time, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X could recharge without cable at only 7.5 watts. Relatively low power.
In 2020, Apple introduced Magsafe with the iPhone 12, a system that uses magnets to perfectly align the charger on the back of the phone, increasing power to 15 watts.
From now on, the iPhone 16 can recharge at 25 watts with Magsafe, provided you use a fairly powerful sector adapter, at least 30 watts. This constant progression seems far from over, since new information suggests that Apple is preparing a spectacular bond for wireless recharge of its next devices.

Official documents discovered on a Taiwan certification site reveal the arrival of new Magsafe chargers compatible with a standard called Qi 2.2. These chargers keep the same round and white shape, but with braided cables of 1 and 2 meters. The big novelty is their maximum power of 45 watts, Almost double what the iPhone 16 supports today.
Note: the Qi 2.2 standard authorizes up to 50 watts, but the new chargers certified by Apple are limited to 45 watts
This evolution represents a substantial leap compared to the 15 Watts of the current Qi 2 Standard. The new chargers will also improve magnetic alignment and the effectiveness of recharge, while remaining compatible with your old devices. You will be able to use the same charger for all your iPhone compatible Magsafe.

The tests show that these new chargers will work with all the models since the iPhone 11. However, only future compatible devices Qi 2.2, like the iPhone 17 scheduled for next September, should be able to fully exploit this new power.
If you have an iPhone 16 and you plan to get the 17th, this technology will allow you to Recharge your phone twice as fast as today.
This increase in power naturally raises questions about the battery life. Indeed, even if Magsafe technology is very practical, it is not without defect. Some users have noticed that their iPhone 15 Pro Max battery wears out faster after a few months of intensive use with this technology.
Experts believe, however, that the impact will be minimal for most users, especially if you adopt good charging habits.
Apple probably added protections to avoid overheating and preserve the batteries in the long term. If you want to take care of yours, do not hesitate to consult our 6 tips to maximize the battery life of your iPhone.
