Apple has a faster MagSafe charger to go with the new iPhone 16 phones

Apple released a new, more powerful version of the MagSafe charger during its September iPhone 16 event today. The puck will be compatible with all iPhones and any Qi2 device, but only the new iPhone 16 models are listed as supporting the fastest 25W wireless charging rate.

That's a higher maximum rate than the phones offered by Samsung and Google right now - the Galaxy S24 series maxes out at 15W, while Google's Pixel 9 phones range from 15W-23W when using the second-generation Google Pixel Stand. (Pixel 9 models can only manage 12W charging on standard Qi chargers.)

Apple is asking for $39 for the 1m version of the charger and $49 for the 2m one. The new phones don't come with chargers, so you'll need to buy this separately and add a 30W USB-C power supply to support the highest rate, as noted above.

According to the product page for the new charger, every iPhone from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 16 line is supported, as are all AirPods with wireless charging capabilities.
