Faster MagSafe Charging

MagSafe is a great feature that lets you charge your iPhone 16 without a USB-C cable. Instead, you stick the MagSafe Charger to the back of your iPhone, and it will start charging.

The only downside is that MagSafe is slower than charging your iPhone with a USB-C cable. Fortunately, Apple improved the charging times in the iPhone 16. 

Now, the new iPhone models can charge up to 50% of their battery in 30 minutes with a MagSafe charger. Of course, that won’t happen unless you have the correct charger for the job.

You’ll need Apple’s latest MagSafe charging puck and a 30W power adapter or higher to use the fastest MagSafe charging. The iPhone 16 will still work with older MagSafe chargers, but only at the same 15W speeds as the iPhone 15 and prior models.

Sadly, Apple’s latest iPhone 16e has been left out of MagSafe charging. It only supports standard Qi charging at 7.5W and no magnetic attachment unless you add a case.
