If the rumors are true, the next-gen iPhone could see much faster wired charging speeds.
Per MacRumors, in a note with investment firm GF Securities, Apple supply chain analyst Jeff Pu stated that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models will all support up to 35W wired charging speeds.
Back in 2024, ChargerLab found that the iPhone 16 Pro models achieved maximum sustained charging speeds of around 30W. In one recorded instance, the iPhone 16 Pro Max reached a peak charging speed of 37W with Apple’s 140W USB-C power adapter, but it is unclear how long the device kept charging at that speed.
The PhoneArena website observed similar results with the standard iPhone 16, and stated that the device reached a peak charging speed of 38W when it was “under extremely heavy loads such as benchmark testing or playing games.” The website said the iPhone 16 achieved a sustained charging speed of closer to 20W.
Pu did not reveal wireless MagSafe charging speeds for any iPhone 17 models. For its part, Apple has stated that iPhone 16 models can charge at up to 25W with MagSafe.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
