Currently, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models can achieve peak charging speeds of up to 27W using the appropriate USB-C power adapter, while official MagSafe chargers from Apple and authorized third parties can wirelessly charge iPhone 15 models at up to 15W. All four iPhone 15 models can charge to 50% in about 30 minutes using a 20W power adapter or higher, which is the same as Apple's previous iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models.

According to ITHome, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series Pro models will change this situation. Wired charging will be upgraded to 40W and wireless charging will be upgraded to 20W to "balance and improve the problem of increased charging time caused by increased battery capacity."

This reason is related to another rumor - except for the iPhone 16 Plus, other models in Apple's iPhone 16 series will be equipped with larger batteries than their predecessors.

The talk of increased charging power revives similar rumors we reported on MacRumors nearly a year ago, when it was reported that the iPhone 16 series will use stacked battery technology and support both 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe charging. Stacked batteries can achieve higher capacity and longer life.

It’s unclear why this rumor is circulating again in Asia, but considering that we’re only two months away from the release of Apple’s new flagship devices, there’s likely some truth to it. The iPhone 16 series is expected to be released around mid-September.
