It looks like iPhones, including the expected iPhone 17, could get a big boost from an upgrade to their wireless MagSafe chargers.

According to a report by 91mobiles, a recent image of Apple MagSafe chargers showed model numbers that support the Qi 2.2 charging standard. 91mobiles spotted the photos on Taiwan’s National Communications Commission website. The NCC is the regulatory body that verifies devices for telecom products.
Qi standard is set by the Wireless Power Consortium, consisting of hundreds of companies like Apple, Samsung and Google.
In a post to X, 91mobiles shared a rendering of what the new charger could look like:

Apple is working on a new MagSafe charger with Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard. Check out the details👇https://t.co/E7vKHQ2ik2

If the rumors are true, it would mean Apple is jumping from its current Qi 2.0, which supports up to 15W wireless charging. The iPhone 16 series, except for the 16E, supports 25W wireless charging with a new MagSafe charger and power brick that Apple rolled out last year.
The Qi 2.2 standard supports speeds of 50W, according to 91mobiles. That kind of increase in charging would be impressive, although outside the US, a lot of Chinese phones — like those from Xiaomi, Oppo and OnePlus — support 80W to 100W wireless charging.

Qi 2.2 could also improve magnetic alignment, so your iPhone snaps to the charger correctly and quickly. That could potentially improve charging efficiency and reduce heat generation.
And for those of us who want to hold onto our old phones instead of upgrading to the new iPhone, Qi 2.2 promises backward compatibility to as far back as the iPhone 11.
The report comes just days ahead of Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, at which the company provides updates about its latest software for iPhones and other devices. (Here’s how to watch the WWDC 2025 keynote.)
The company typically unveils its new iPhone lineup in September. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
