There are roughly two months left until the traditional September event without any surprises in which Apple will introduce the iPhone 16, a new generation that finally aims to come up with interesting news, as we told you in recent months. Now, and as we previously expected and could confirm in June, the big news about the iPhone 16 will not lie in the devices themselves, but in the AI-based features that will more or less come to them.

However, it seems that the next generation Yes, it will come with more interesting news, as well as the iPhone 17 Slim, which promises a great revolution in terms of its design, so much so that there are those who, in this sense, put it on par with what the iPhone X represented in relation to its predecessors. And yes, it is true that it is not possible to innovate annually so much that each generation is disruptive with respect to the previous one, but it is also undeniable that after a certain time the desire to see a big change starts to grow exponentially.

The iPhone 16 has recently been rumored to claim this they will all share the same SoC, ending the distinction between the standard and Pro models, and also that the Pro camera shows big improvements. The problem that those at Cupertino are facing with this generation is that many of the star features of Apple Intelligence, such as the new Siri, are not intended to be available with the launch of the new generation, but may be delayed by several months. until sometime in the first half of 2025. And it is even worse in the European Union, because they have doubts about their adaptation to the WFD. In other words, the new generation needs enough new features from its launch to be interesting to its potential buyers.

Sometimes, and I’ve mentioned this before, virtue is found in the small details, and it seems those at Cupertino have chosen to focus on one that has a lot of room for improvement. So as we read in ITHome (in Chinese), Apple will improve fast charging and wireless charging on the iPhone 16. More specifically, fast charging jumps from the 27 watts of the current generation to 40 watts. It’s far from dazzling speed, but it’s more in line with what to expect from a top-of-the-line phone in 2025.

When it comes to wireless charging via MagSafe, we will also see an increase because it will go from the current 15 watts to 20 watts on the iPhone 16. Again, we’re not talking market cap, but hey, 33% generational growth is no small feat. Now, of course, we can hope that this will continue to develop in future generations. Of course, on the other hand, it makes sense for Apple to be conservative when it comes to charging features, especially since the issues that forced the company to cancel AirPower.
