Apple has released a new version of its MagSafe Charger with Qi2 25W certification. This is the third version of Apple’s MagSafe Charger to date.
The new charger is available for ordering now, and can be purchased with a one-meter or two-meter USB-C cable, with pricing ranging from $39 to $49, respectively in the United States.
The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to compatible iPhone models. The MagSafe Charger provides faster wireless charging up to 25W when paired with a 30W power adapter.
The MagSafe Charger is certified for Qi2 25W and Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case.
Available in two cable lengths: 1 meter and 2 meters.
The magnetic alignment experience only applies to iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, compatible iPhone 16 models, iPhone 17 models, and iPhone Air.

It appears that the only change is support for Qi2 25W (Qi 2.2), allowing the new MagSafe Charger to wirelessly charge compatible devices at up to 25W speeds. The previous version of the charger only offered 25W charging speeds for all iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models, excluding the iPhone 16e.
As pointed out by MacRumors, with the release of iOS 26, all iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models will support Qi2 25W, excluding the iPhone 16e. The devices can be wirelessly charged with any Qi2 25W charger.
