iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Models Support 25W Qi2.2 Charging

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max can charge at up to 25W using the next-generation Qi2.2 chargers. Qi2.2 is an upgraded specification that matches the 25W charging speed of the updated MagSafe specification introduced last year.

Apple debuted ‌MagSafe‌ 2 last year, and the iPhone 16 models, ‌iPhone 17‌, and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models can charge at up to 25W over ‌MagSafe‌, so now the new devices will be able to get the same charging speed with Qi2.2.

Qi2.2 charging speeds require a Qi2.2 charger, and accessory makers are starting to come out with wireless charging options that support the new standard.

The iPhone Air is limited to 20W charging over ‌MagSafe‌ and Qi2.2, so it is not able to reach the 25W charging speeds that other models are capable of.

I thought qi2.2 was 50w not 25w?
The standard settled on 25W, but some of the hardware like the power management chips can handle 50W, which so far is implemented proprietarily.

Good to know. Will be great if sustained charging at those speeds are possible. Heat build up might slow down the charging.

Looks like something from SATECHI. Not seeing this exact design on their site though. This is the closest I could find.

This doesn't make sense. There is no "MagSafe 2"...unless we're talking about the charger for Macs.

Apple simply released a new model of the MagSafe charger last year that supports Qi 2 (models A2580 and A3250).

What this article fails to mention is that Apple yet again released a new model of the MagSafe charger today, presumably to support Qi 2.2 (models A3502 and A3503).

I assume that means you need today's new MagSafe charger (or "MagSafe 3", if you will) to take advantage of Qi 2.2 charging on the new iPhones. I don't think last year's MagSafe model will support Qi 2.2 on the new iPhones.
