If you have already used the wireless load, you already know that the latter is certainly more practical and less fast than the good old cables. To overcome this problem, increasingly powerful accessories have arrived on the market with in particular products capable of providing 25 watts of power.

Unfortunately, at Apple, compatibility with this kind of accessory was limited. But that should change with the upcoming release of iOS 26 note Macrumors.

A Qi 2.2 compatibility

Until then, Apple’s iPhone 16s were indeed compatible with the 25 Watts wireless load, but only via the Magsafe certified products. Third -party chargers responding to Qi 2.2 certification (the only one capable of providing 25 watts) were not supported for the simple and good reason that very little still existed on the market.

Only here, Belkin has just released an Qi 2.2 accessory range which promises to “Recharge your iphone from zero to 50 % in just 29 minutes». For what technological means is it made possible you ask you? Well, quite simply, because Apple should unlock compatibility with this standard in iOS 26.

Until then, third -party chargers were limited to 15 watts of power, but the exit of these Belkin accessories (which works in close collaboration with Apple) therefore proves that this bridle will have no reason to be as soon as Ios 26. In fact, the beta versions of the software already embark this novelty if you want to test it in front -.

All iPhone 16 except the 16th

Unfortunately, not all iPhone 16s are compatible with the Qi 2.2 load. The bulk of the range will be able to take advantage of it with iOS 26, but the iPhone 16th (less expensive declination of Apple’s latest birthday) will be deprived of it. Incidentally, this confirms more or less that the next iPhone 17 should also be compatible with the Qi 2.2 standard, as some rumors suggested.
