iPhone 16 Models Can Charge at Up to 25W Using MagSafe

The new iPhone 16 models that Apple introduced today support upgraded MagSafe charging. With a 30W charger, the iPhones can charge at up to 25W, an improvement over the prior 15W limit.

For the first time, the ‌iPhone 16‌ models support fast charging over ‌MagSafe‌. Users can expect up to a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes when using a 30W or higher adapter paired with one of the new MagSafe Chargers. Fast charging is also available with a 20W or higher adapter paired with a standard USB-C cable.

Qi2 wireless charging is supported as well, but that is limited to 15W charging, so ‌iPhone 16‌ users will get faster charging speeds with official ‌MagSafe‌ chargers.

A 30W power adapter will need to be purchased separately, as Apple does not include power adapters with the purchase of an iPhone anymore. Apple does, however, include a USB-C cable.

The new ‌iPhone 16‌ models will be available for pre-order starting on Friday, September 13, with a launch to follow on Friday, September 20. There are two new ‌MagSafe‌ chargers in 1-meter and 2-meter sizes.

Lol, all these new Qi2 chargers that just got released are already made obsolete.

This is not really that revolutionary--if memory serves, my 13 Pro will charge at 20W using the old MagSafe adapter.
MagSafe was 15 W before.

Why do people prefer Magsafe charging? You still have a cable attached to the device and its heavier than just using usb-c cable
If you are talking about portability than obviously a regular cable is the way to go. However, I would assume that many people, like me, use wireless charging at home and in the car. In those scenarios weight is irrelevant. So then it is the convenience vs feature comparison. Again, if you are looking for the most efficient and fastest possible charging, a cable is great. However, in the car and at home, I am not. I am just looking for something to slowly charge it. In the car it is so my GPS and Bluetooth usage is offset. Wireless is good enough for that. At home it is so I have my phone in StandBy mode. I get to see and utilize the display and also slowly charge it so it is ready in the morning.

Cables are great if I need a quick, mobile way to charge my phone. However, between the wireless charging stand by my bed and the one in my car, I get through 95% of my week never needing to even think about my battery level.

Here is my 15 Pro's battery health after just under 12 months. 40% cabled charging (fast) and rest was 15W wireless. RIP

I'm done with fast and wireless charging unless really needed.
Mine's at 100% still after 240 cycles. Wireless charging a majority of the time. Obviously results vary but I see no issues charging wirelessly, especially when magnets control the alignment.
