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.
iPhone 17 Wireless Charging Upgrade: What Reports Say
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.
Having a new MagSafe charger not only gives people the chance to quickly charge their iPhones but also allows Apple to have a new way to make money for its business.
Wireless charging in general has not moved up the ladder, especially because of its complex tech and design standards. Which is why you now have phones offering around 120W wired charging support out of the box, which is yet to come from the premium names like Apple, Samsung and even Google in the market.
