Leaked Apple Charger Reveals iPhone 17 Will Have Fast Charging

The latest rumors say that the leap in charging could improve efficiency and cut down on heat generation.

It looks like iPhones, including the expected iPhone 17, could be getting a big boost from an upgrade to their wireless MagSafe chargers.

As reported by 91mobiles, a recent image of Apple MagSafe chargers included model numbers that support the Qi 2.2 charging standard. That’s according to photos that 91mobiles spotted on Taiwan’s National Communications Commission website. The NCC is the regulatory body that verifies devices for telecom products.

If the rumors are correct, it would mean Apple would jump from its current Qi 2.0, which supports a maximum charging speed of 25W. The Qi 2.2 standard supports speeds of 50W, according to 91mobiles.

Additionally, Qi 2.2 could improve magnetic alignment, so your iPhone snaps to the charger correctly and quickly. That could potentially improve charging efficiency and reduce heat generation.

And for those of us who want to hold onto our old phones instead of upgrading to the new iPhone, Qi 2.2 promises backward compatibility to as far back as the iPhone 11.

The report comes just days ahead of Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, at which the company provides updates about its latest software for iPhones and other devices. (Here’s how to watch the WWDC 2025 keynote.) Apple typically unveils its new iPhone lineup in September.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
