iPhone 17 Series To Offer 50W Wireless Charging Support? Here's What We Know
Last Updated:
iPhone 17 launch is still months away but the series of rumours for the new model suggest Apple could finally have some upgrades to excite the buyers.
iPhones and charging speeds have never excited people for years but reports suggest the new iPhone 17 series could finally have something to wait for. Apple is finally looking to offer around 50W wireless charging speed for the upcoming iPhone 17 models but the company could have a big catch for making it happen.
Apple is hoping that people continue to upgrade and charging speed support could have a big role in their decision making. Offering 50W charging support for iPhone 17 is supposedly one of the many upgrades coming this year.
The wireless charging upgrade for iPhone 17 could reportedly work thanks to the new MagSafe charger that Apple plans to launch this year. These new accessories have been spotted on certification websites which suggests the product is close to being ready for market release. Apple could adopt the next-gen Qi2.2 wireless charging standard which will allow these MagSafe chargers to offer up to 50W charging speed for the iPhone 17 models.
The current iPhone 16 models offer maximum speed up to 15W even though the wireless standard can go to 25W which the iPhones can't. It will be a significant upgrade with the iPhone 17 series but something that most people would be eager to see happen. Having said that, iPhones definitely get a big boost with their wired charging speeds as well, especially when you can use any third-party USB C fast-charging adapters to fuel them up.

Apple WWDC 2025 Event Live Updates: Apple to unveil latest iOS features, updates in opening keynote
Apple WWDC 2025 Event Live Updates: WWDC 2025, Apple's five-day annual developer conference will kick off on Monday, June 9, with a keynote from CEO Tim Cook and other company executives at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, US. Since the AI boom, developer conferences have been all about artificial intelligence. At WWDC 2024, Apple joined the AI race by introducing Apple Intelligence – its response to the rise of models and chatbots like ChatGPT. But a year later, progress has been slow, features limited, and the generative AI-revamped Siri has been delayed indefinitely. As a result, this year's WWDC is likely to see Apple pivot back to software-focused announcements, including an overhauled, unified UI design across all its devices as well as a new naming convention for iOS. We could also see Apple open up its foundational AI models for developers to build on.
