Apple’s new iPhone 16 phones can do faster wired charging
Apple’s new iPhones can charge faster than ever — if you plug them in.
This is according to certification from the China Quality Certification Centre, as spotted by ShrimpApplePro and reported by 9to5Mac. All of Apple’s new iPhones are capable of 45W charging over USB-C.

During its keynote on Monday, Apple did mention that the new iPhone 16 range of devices support faster wireless charging. The official specs sheet says so as well; according to Apple, all of the new phones (the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max) support MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W with a 30W adapter or higher, as well as Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W. Apple also says that the phones are capable of fast charging over wired; according to the specs, you can get up to “50 percent charge in around 30 minutes” with a 20W adapter or higher paired with a USB-C charging cable.

What the spec sheet doesn’t say is that last year’s models could charge at a maximum of 30W, while the new ones can peak at 45W, theoretically enabling even faster charging.
For the end users, this means that they should be able to get their iPhone 16 devices to charge faster than ever if they use a compatible 45W charger. It will take some real-world testing to see which chargers work best, and whether you can get a meaningfully faster charge this way, though.
