The iPhone 17 has arrived, and with it, the implementation of bigger and better wireless charging, making for the most impressive launch yet.
Yes, there are a ton of other great new features, including design upgrades, performance improvements, and of course, the eye-catching orange colour-way, but the new 25W wireless charging speed is a game-changer. Don’t believe us? Keep reading to find out all you need to know about what 25W wireless charging means for iPhone 17 users and how Qi2.2 compares to Apple’s MagSafe.
Understand 25W Wireless Charging on iPhone 17: Why Qi2.2 Matters
The iPhone 17 series has introduced Qi2.2 wireless charging, enabling fast charging speeds that are on par with traditional wired charging. Qi2.2 follows the implementation of Qi2, which achieved speeds of up to 15W. But now, things are being taken up a notch. Not only does it reach new heights with 25W of power, but it also retains all the battery safety features that keep your devices protected from harm, including overheating and overcharging. Qi2.2 features the same powerful magnet alignment to minimize energy loss, allowing you to continue streaming your favorite show or listening to a podcast while wirelessly charging.
Compare Magsafe vs Qi2.2 for Faster Wireless Charging
Qi2.2 has taken a leaf out of the Apple notebook and used what made MagSafe so effective: its magnet alignment. While the two appear and behave quite similarly, there are some notable differences.
MagSafe was the benchmark for wireless charging. It provided up to 15W of power and was the first to feature super-strong magnets that allowed your device to accurately “click” into place and not budge. This waved goodbye to readjusting and shuffling to get consistent power. The downside was that MagSafe was only compatible with Apple products, leaving Android users in the dark.
Then Qi2 came along and provided the same impressive charging speeds, but made it for everyone. The newest advancement, Qi2.2, uses the same powerful magnets for sturdy attachment, but now with even bigger power and faster charging speeds with up to 25W. With the newly released iPhone 17 supporting Qi2.2, by using the right accessories, you can enjoy wired charging speeds without the wires.

Navigate Wired Charging Reality: USB-PD, GaN Chargers, and Top-Speed Adapters
Wired charging still tops the bill when it comes to speed. By using a USB-C PD charging cable, you can take advantage of fast charging, reaching speeds of up to 100W+. USB PD is the universal fast charging standard that’s built into a USB-C cable. It optimizes the charging speed between your device and your phone, so you never have to worry about overheating or overcharging.
GaN (Gallium Nitride) chargers are generally smaller, run cooler, and are more efficient than older silicon chargers. They usually have higher wattage, as manufacturers can pack more power into smaller chargers, making them ideal for travelers and those who need to charge on the go.
Maximize Speed on the Go: Pick High-Wattage PD Chargers and Quality Cables
Whether you’re working on your daily commute or charging on the go, pairing a high-wattage PD charger with a good-quality cable allows you to achieve maximum charging speeds without damaging your battery.
By using a PD-ready wireless power bank like the EcoFlow RAPID Mag Power Bank (Built-in USB-C Cable), you can easily connect on the move without having to carry extra cables. The power bank is compact and lightweight—perfect to stuff in your backpack or handbag—but still delivers safe, efficient power when you need it most. Its 11N magnetic grip keeps your phone safely attached, whether you’re working out or maneuvering through the hustle and bustle of daily life.
