Apple Speeds Up iPhone 17 Charging to 50% in About 20 Minutes

Apple is selling a $39 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with brief 60W peaks to support the faster rates.

Overview

  • Apple says iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max reach about 50% in around 20 minutes with a compatible USB-C power adapter.
  • The iPhone Air remains limited to roughly 20W, reaching about 50% in around 30 minutes.
  • Apple recommends using a 40W adapter to achieve the new times, while a 30W charger delivers about 50% in 30 minutes.
  • A new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with a short-burst 60W maximum is available now for $39 on the Apple Store.
  • Most higher-watt third-party USB-C chargers should enable the faster wired speeds, and wireless charging rates are unchanged.
