Apple is new iPhone 16 range features a major charging upgrade that Apple didn’t mention when it unveiled the new flagship series earlier this week.
Apple’s iPhone 16 was unveiled on Tuesday, complete with new A18-series processors, a new Camera Control button, new colors, major camera upgrades and Wi-Fi 7 across the entire platform.
Apple has also significantly improved battery life across the lineup, but one charging update it didn’t mention comes in the form of faster wired juice. It turns out that the iPhone 16 series supports 45 W charging via USB-C. This is a huge increase on the 29W supported by the previous generation.
A huge charging upgrade from the iPhone 16
News, noted by ShrimpApplePro on Xis interesting to future iPhone owners for two reasons. Not only is this a huge leap forward over the current wireless charging speed, allowing you to power up your phone faster than ever before, but it’s also rare to see such powerful improvements applied to an entire lineup. We were waiting iPhone 16 Pro it’s great news that all four phones are getting an update to support faster charging.
Likewise, Apple has also beefed up the MagSafe charging feature with the iPhone 16. Each model now supports up to 25W charging via MagSafe, compared to 15W on previous-generation models. Along with the huge battery life boost, iPhone 16 users can expect their phones to last longer day-to-day and take less time to charge when they run out of juice.
Another key reason for the more power-efficient performance is the introduction of the new A18 chip in the iPhone 15 Pro, which consumes less power at similar speeds compared to the previous A17 Pro and the A16 in the iPhone 15.
iPhone 16 is on pre-order Starting Friday, prices are the same as last year’s models.
