Apple's new MagSafe Charger will be as fast to top up the iPhone 16 Series as a regular cable c

Apple launched an updated MagSafe Charger yesterday, just in time for the arrival of the iPhone 16. It is still the same compact puck on the outside, compatible with Qi2 and Qi charging, but this one comes with up to 25W wireless charging.

According to the official website, up to 50% battery can be reached in around 30 minutes when paired with the 30W USB-C power adapter.

The good news is that the iPhone 16 will charge faster wirelessly than an iPhone 15 over the wire with a regular 20W adapter.

The bad news is that the 25W rates are reserved for the latest iPhones - the new MagSafe Charger will provide only up to 15W for any phone between iPhone 12 and iPhone 15 and up to 7.5W between iPhone 8 and iPhone 11.

The MagSafe Charger costs $39/£39/€49 for the 1-meter option or $49/£49/€59 for the 2-meter variant. The 30W USB-C Power Adapter is also sold separately, and it costs $39/£39/€45. Both accessories can be shipped immediately, so they can reach the new owner ahead of the iPhone 16 arrival in ten days.
