iPhone 12 Gets Faster 15W Wireless Charging with iOS Update
• Apple quietly enabled faster 15W Qi2 wireless charging in the iPhone 12 with the iOS 17.4 update, allowing compatibility with more third-party chargers
• Previously, third-party wireless chargers were limited to 7.5W with the iPhone 12, while Apple's own MagSafe chargers could charge at 15W
• The iPhone 15 series already had Qi2 compatibility for fast charging out of the box
• Tests show that the iPhone 12 now also charges at the faster 15W speed with Qi2 chargers like the Anker MagGo
• Third-party Qi2 chargers can now charge the iPhone 12 almost as fast as Apple's own MagSafe charger, but for less than half the price
