Apple Releases New MagSafe Charger With Qi2 25W Certification

As far as we can tell, the only change with the new MagSafe Charger is support for Qi2 25W, also known as Qi 2.2. With this certification, the new MagSafe Charger can wirelessly charge Google's new Pixel 10 smartphones and other compatible devices at up to 25W speeds, whereas the previous version of the MagSafe Charger only offers 25W charging speeds for all iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models, excluding the iPhone 16e.

This is the third version of Apple's MagSafe Charger to date.

With iOS 26, all iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models support Qi2 25W, excluding the iPhone 16e. After being updated to iOS 26, those devices can be wirelessly charged with any Qi2 25W charger, including recent options from Belkin and Aukey.

Wish Apple would release this with a 50cm cord. Even better, could they just make the puck with a USB-C port so we could attach our own USB-C cables?

I gave up using wireless charging of my iPhone shortly after noticing how hot it got. And you can bet that a higher energy wireless charger will make your phone even hotter, shortening its battery life cycle. I just plug my MacBook Air into one of our USB-C outlets, and plug the iPhone into the other USB port on the Mac. Both fully charged every morning, and cool as a cucumber.

I never understood the point of that puck.
Expensive, hard to remove, cannot transfer data, not as universal, fragile, consumes more, slower and degrades your phone.

Have the dimensions changed on it? I know that between v1 and v2, the pick got slightly larger, so stands designed for v1 wouldn't hold the v2 charger.
