Apple has a 45W MagSafe charger in the works

Apple updated its MagSafe charger with the launch of the iPhone 16 series last September, and it seems Cupertino will once again offer a new version with the next generation of iPhones this fall. As spotted by 91 Mobiles, Apple has two new MagSafe chargers in the works, with both receiving certification from Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC).

The A3503 model of the charger features a 2m cable, while the A3502 gets a shorter 1m cord. While the new versions look just like their predecessor on the outside, the chargers support the Wireless Power Consortium’s latest Qi 2.2 standard, which was officially announced earlier this year.

Qi 2.2 brings support for up to 50W speeds, with enhanced magnetic alignment and improved efficiency. The new Apple MagSafe Qi 2.2 charger certifications reveal they support 45W speeds (15V × 3A) when connected to a compatible USB PD charger. Could this mean that the iPhone 17 series will up its wireless charging speeds? Maybe.

The iPhone 16 series supports up to 25W wireless charging speeds, so a bump up to 45W would be a solid upgrade. That could also mean that wired charging would also get upgraded, since it’s currently capped at 25W.
