MagSafe on iPhone 12 only works full speed with Apple’s new 20W charger
If you want to charge your iPhone 12 full speed via Apple’s new MagSafe wireless charger, you’ll need to run out and buy the company’s new 20-watt USB-C charger because higher-wattage Apple chargers and third-party options currently don’t perform quite well.
The $39 MagSafe charger provides up to fifteen watts of power for the iPhone 12 phones. When used with other devices, like Android handsets or older iPhones, it works as a standard Qi-compliant wireless charger that maxes out at 7.5 watts of power. But as it turns out, MagSafe only charges at full 15-watt speed when connected to Apple’s new 20-watt charger.
Needless to say, wired charging still reigns supreme, coming in about twice as fast as the fastest of these results. But there’s another catch to that: Even though Apple’s support document says that an 18-watt charger is required for the fast-charge feature (that gets your iPhone from dead to fifty percent in 30 minutes), the fine print at the end states that “you need a 20W or higher power adapter to fast charge your iPhone 12.”
So there you have it…
