Both accessories are no longer available to order on Apple's online store, with the product listings completely removed.īoth the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo Charger were equipped with a Lightning port, so it is not too surprising that they were discontinued after Apple introduced four new iPhone 15 models with USB-C ports. It is possible that using a 35W or higher charger will speed up charging, but that will need to be figured out once the devices are released.Īpple today discontinued the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo Charger immediately following its iPhone 15 event. The iPhone 15 models will continue to charge to 50 percent in around 30 minutes with a 20W or higher adapter. 9to5Mac said that the iPhone 15 models could support faster charging speeds using a 35W charger, but Apple's technical specifications page doesn't list any improvement to fast charging. There have been no improvements to MagSafe charging speeds either, and rumors that suggested we could see quicker wired charging may also be incorrect.
Some companies have announced Qi2 chargers that can charge at up to 15W, the same as MagSafe, but it does not appear that Apple's iPhones will support the faster 15W Qi2 charging functionality. It includes a Magnetic Power Profile that ensures that smartphones are "perfectly aligned with charging devices" and it is meant to offer "improved energy efficiency and faster charging." Qi2 is a new wireless charging standard built on MagSafe charging technology supplied by Apple. When the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models were introduced today, Apple's Kaiann Drance mentioned that they support the next-generation Qi2 charging standard, but that apparently does not mean that Qi charging will be faster.Īpple's technical specifications page for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models says that Qi-based charging is still limited to 7.5W, while MagSafe charging is 15W.
