these things used to come as part of the box, GOD need to pay even more than what we already are

A little 5w brick used to come in the box. Still want one of those? Anything faster was always a separate purchase.

An iPhone 17 Pro has a max charging speed of 40 watts

At this time, do we in fact know that the maximum charging speed of an iPhone 17 Pro is 40W? Perhaps the vapor chamber cooling technology on the iPhone 17 Pro (and 17 Pro Max) will enable the device to temporarily charge at 60W?

Based on testing by ChargerLab, it appears that an iPhone 17 Pro Max has a peak charging level of about 36W (not 60W). Thus, consistent with the Apple specifications, it appears that any 40W+ charger is sufficient for fast charging - and, the new Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is not required.

The website ChargerLAB today published a teardown of Apple's new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max, which has a key advantage over one of its other chargers.

Specifically, the teardown shows the new 40W to 60W charger is roughly the same size as Apple's 20W charger, despite its higher wattage for faster charging speeds. In other words, you are getting more power from a smaller charger, although the 40W to 60W model costs $39 in the U.S., while the 20W option costs $19.

To achieve this, the charger supports USB-C Power Delivery 3.2 with SPR AVS (Standard Power Range Adjustable Voltage Supply), according to ChargerLAB.

The teardown confirms the charger can approach its 60W limit, but this will only be in short bursts, due to the thermal limitations of its compact design.

In addition to the U.S., the 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is available to order in Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, and the Philippines. It appears to be the spiritual successor to Apple's discontinued 30W adapter, which is still included with the base-model 13-inch MacBook Air and the Apple Vision Pro for now.

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models can be charged up to 50% in 20 minutes with a compatible charger, including the 40W to 60W one.

What about a MagSafe charger with a fast charging cable ?

Are there any MagSafe chargers with a high speed charging cable attached ?

Is the standard Apple MagSafe charger with vinyl wrapped cable sufficient ?

There doesn't seem to be any other options.

I see that Apple has a " New " MagSafe Charger but it doesn't look any different than the one I have that came with ( Or came out around the time of ) my iPhone 15 Pro.

Should I buy the " New " Apple MagSafe Charger or am I okay with the iPhone 15 Pro era MagSafe Charger ?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
