- Certification data for the iPhone 16 series indicates that all four phones support fast charging up to 45W.
- Apple does not disclose wired charging speeds for its products like other smartphone companies. It also highlights charging speeds with a lower-spec 20W charger, alongside improved 25W MagSafe charging.
- For context, the iPhone 15 Pro Max charged as high as 29W as per testing and certification.
After months of waiting, the new iPhone 16 series is here. Most of the upgrades on the devices are quite minor, so Apple spent a lot of time talking about the new Camera Control and the upcoming Apple Intelligence features. Apple also highlighted the new MagSafe charging speeds on the devices, but the company didn’t bother to highlight what is arguably one of the most significant upgrades to the iPhone 16 series: 45W fast charging!
Certification data for the iPhone 16 series, as spotted by Whylab on Weibo (via ShrimpApplePro on X, formerly known as Twitter), indicates that the iPhone 16 (A3294), iPhone 16 Plus (A3297), iPhone 16 Pro (A3288), and iPhone 16 Pro Max (A3291) can charge at a maximum of 45W with compatible chargers.
