The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max can charge at up to 25W using the next-generation Qi2.2 chargers. Qi2.2 is an upgraded specification that matches the 25W charging speed of the updated MagSafe specification introduced last year.

Apple debuted MagSafe 2 last year, and the iPhone 16 models, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro models can charge at up to 25W over MagSafe, so now the new devices will be able to get the same charging speed with Qi2.2.

Qi2.2 charging speeds require a Qi2.2 charger, and accessory makers are starting to come out with wireless charging options that support the new standard.

The iPhone Air is limited to 20W charging over MagSafe and Qi2.2, so it is not able to reach the 25W charging speeds that other models are capable of.

People on the beta with iPhone 16 pro got faster charging with qi2.2 so I doubt it’s only for the 17 series
 
This is nice because we can get more affordable chargers. What's nicer is that we have 40W fast charging now. I'd much rather be able to charge to 50% in 20 minutes in a pinch while traveling! Or if I woke up and my phone didn't charge for some reason, which seems to happen with the MagSafe compatible case that I've been using the past year for some reason.

This doesn't make sense. There is no "MagSafe 2"...unless we're talking about the charger for Macs.

Apple simply released a new model of the MagSafe charger last year that supports Qi 2 (models A2580 and A3250).

What this article fails to mention is that Apple yet again released a new model of the MagSafe charger today, presumably to support Qi 2.2 (models A3502 and A3503).

I assume that means you need today's new MagSafe charger (or "MagSafe 3", if you will) to take advantage of Qi 2.2 charging on the new iPhones. I don't think last year's MagSafe model will support Qi 2.2 on the new iPhones.
 
I wonder if 40w is the true maximum of the new phones. But 2TB storage, vapor chamber cooling, and an increase in wired charging speed were exactly what I was hoping for. The 17 PM ticks all the boxes on my wishlist. Too bad I just can’t afford it right now!

This might be the first iPhone I ever purchase *after* launch
