iOS Update Unlocks Faster 15W Wireless Charging for iPhone 12 Models
- iOS 17.4 enabled faster 15W Qi2 wireless charging for iPhone 12 models, matching iPhone 13/14 speeds
- Qi2 is an open standard similar to Apple's MagSafe, allowing faster 15W charging
- iPhone 12 owners reported getting 15W speeds after the 17.4 update
- Tests by Macworld confirmed iPhones 12 charge at full 15W MagSafe speeds with Qi2 chargers after the update
- Qi2 chargers work with older iPhones too but only at slower 7.5W speeds unless the phone supports Qi2
