Apple 's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max may receive a significant boost in charging capabilities, according to recent rumours.
ITHome reports that the new models are expected to support 40W wired fast charging and 20W MagSafe wireless charging, marking a substantial upgrade from the current iPhone 15 Pro series.The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max currently top out at 27W for wired charging and 15W for MagSafe wireless charging.If these rumours prove accurate, the iPhone 16 Pro models could see nearly a 50% increase in wired charging speeds and a 33% boost in wireless charging capacity.According to ITHome, these improvements are reportedly aimed at "balancing and improving the problem of increasing charging time caused by the increase in battery capacity."
This could potentially result in higher capacity and longer battery lifespan.ITHome notes that these rumoured peak charging rates may not be sustained throughout the entire charging process.
Actual improvements to overall charging times remain to be seen.The iPhone 16 series is expected to be unveiled by Apple in September, following the company's usual release schedule.
As with all rumors, this information should be treated with some scepticism until officially confirmed by Apple.
