By ForGeeks The new iPhone 17 lineup, which includes models «17», «17 Air», «17 Pro» and «17 Pro Max», will not get improvements in charging speed. According to Apple supply chain analyst Jeff Poo (via MacRumors), all models will support wire charging up to 35W.

Comparing the iPhone 17 to the iPhone 16
The ChargerLAB previously reported that the iPhone 16 Pro Max reached 37 watts in tests with Apple’s 140-watt adapter, while the standard iPhone 16 reached 38 watts, but its supported speed remained around 20 watts.
It turns out that the charging system remains largely unchanged. While 35W isn’t a bad figure, it’s substantially inferior to many flagship Android smartphones that already offer 100W or more.
Android flagships.
Why isn’t Apple increasing charging power?”
It’s commonly believed that fast charging causes overheating, accelerating battery wear and tear. However, Android manufacturers have been using high-power charging adapters for more than four years, and so far there is no evidence of a significant impact on battery life.
Today’s technology allows efficient temperature control, and energy efficiency of charging systems is constantly improving. With this in mind, accelerated charging could work safely on the iPhone as well.
Accelerated charging could also work safely on the iPhone.
What’s up with wireless charging?”

Jeff Poo didn’t mention changes to MagSafe. Right now, the iPhone 16 supports wireless charging up to 25W, and it’s likely the future smartphone will retain the same standard.
