It doesn't look like we'll be able to take advantage of faster charging speeds, at least with the official Apple charger for now. Is there an alternative out there that supports dynamic charge rates for the fastest charging speeds for the iPhone 17?
Got a tip for us?

Apples dynamic 40w charger isn't available in the UK. Is there an alternative?

Thanks. I have a few Anker chargers, along with a Satechi, but I was looking for one that supports USB C PD 3.2 PPS. I’ve gone for a Pixel Flex 67W as it appears to be the only charger on the market that supports dynamic charging currently
The Apple 40W Charger is a PD 3.2 with AVC Protocoll. As far as I know there is no other charger released yet with this specs. Unfortunately, also here in Europe it was not released. I read that the Google Flex 67W Charger should also support that but it it not confirmed.
I guess it is only minimal faster, so It should not matter that much.

Yea, was hunting for a european version yesterday but didn't find any. Could it be down to design? I guess with our powersockets in Europe it won't look so flush against the socket.
This is the most important part. There is a lot of Mac USB-C charger with more than 40W but nothing is compatible with PD 3.2. I think we should wait Anker and friends release a compatible charger.
The Pixel Flex 67W charger has both PPS and AVS, confirmed here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16496481?hl=en
Here's Chargerlabs review on Apples dynamic charger confirming the PD 3.2 AVS protocol.
So for now, the Pixel Flex seems to be the only credible UK option.
