The iPhone 17 Pro Max has been tested to charge at up to 36W, a 20% increase over last year's model, with the fastest speeds achieved using a 40W Apple charger or higher, marking significant improvements in charging performance.
ChargerLab has discovered images suggesting that certain models of the upcoming iPhone 15 will feature a Thunderbolt/USB 4 retimer chip for high-speed data transfer. The integrated circuit (IC) for Thunderbolt data transfer speeds, known as a retimer, is visible on the iPhone 15's USB-C components. While all four iPhone 15 models are expected to have USB-C ports instead of Lightning, the iPhone 15 Pro models are likely to support Thunderbolt speeds, while the standard models will likely have USB 2.0 speeds.
Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to support both Qi2 and MagSafe wireless charging, with Qi2 chargers able to charge the devices at up to 15W speeds. The first Qi2-certified chargers are expected to be available in time for the 2023 holiday season. ChargerLAB, a reliable source of charging-related information, confirms that Qi2 chargers do not need to use Apple's pricy MagSafe module, which will bring more affordable MagSafe-like chargers to the market.
