Apple‘s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will support 40W wired fast charging and 20W MagSafe charging, claims a rumor currently circulating in China.

Currently, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models can achieve maximum charging speeds of up to 27W with an appropriate USB-C power adapter, while official Apple and authorized third-party MagSafe chargers can wirelessly charge iPhone 15 models at up to 15W. All four iPhone 15 models can charge up to 50% in about 30 minutes with a 20W or higher power adapter, which is the same as Apple’s previous iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models.
According to ITHome, that will change for the Pro models of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 lineup, with wired charging increased to 40W and wireless charging to 20W to “balance and improve the issue of increased charging time caused by increased battery capacity.”
This reasoning ties in with another rumor that says that, with the exception of the iPhone 16 Plus, Apple’s iPhone 16 series models will feature larger batteries than their predecessors.
The claim about increased charging power resurrects a similar rumor we covered here at KeynoteUSA nearly a year ago, when it was reported that the iPhone 16 lineup would adopt stacked battery technology, along with 40W wired charging and 20W charging via MagSafe. Stacked batteries could result in higher capacity and longer battery life.
It’s unclear why the rumor is circulating again in Asia, but given that we’re just two months away from Apple unveiling its new flagship devices, there could be some truth to it. The iPhone 16 series is expected to launch sometime around mid-September.
