Apple is said to be developing new MagSafe chargers that would enable faster wireless charging on the next-generation iPhone models. As per a report, the in-development charging pads were spotted on a certification website and may comply with Qi2.2 charging standards. While these are speculated to be backwards compatible with previous generation iPhone models, the purported iPhone 17 series will reportedly fully take advantage of it by benefitting from up to 50W wireless charging speeds.Apple New MagSafe ChargersSpotted by 91Mobiles, a pair of new MagSafe chargers were listed on Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC) website bearing the model numbers A3502 and A3503. While the listing indicates these are visually indistinguishable from the current MagSafe chargers, they may come with upgrades. The only difference between the two models is the length of the braided cable, with A3502 and A3503 having one metre and two metre long cables, respectively.Photo Credit: 91Mobiles/ National Communications CommissionRegulatory filing documents reveal that the new MagSafe chargers would comply with the next-generation Qi2.2 wireless charging standard. It is expected to be announced by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) soon. Consequently, they may offer wireless charging at up to 50W on the next-generation iPhone models, ubiquitously known as the iPhone 17 series. The listing suggests these chargers would support a maximum power output of 45W.Notably, Apple’s existing MagSafe chargers are compatible with the Qi2 standard which maxes out at 15W. Although the latest iPhone 16 models support up to 25W wireless charging with the 30W MagSafe charger, they are not compatible with the latest standard, which is Qi2.1.While the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to benefit from it the most, users with older models will still be able to use it. As per the listing, it would support iPhone models from the latest iPhone 16 to the iPhone 11. Apart from faster charging speeds, Qi2.2 standard is also said to bring improvements related to magnetic alignment and charging efficiency.Affiliate links may be automatically generated – see our ethics statement for details.
