When Apple released iOS 17.4 in the first week of March, it made no mention of an upgrade to wireless charging capabilities in the iPhone 12. According to, it seems that since the software was launched, iPhone 12 users have been able to charge their handsets much faster even with suitable third-party wireless charging pads, something previously restricted to Apple-authorized devices.Apple introduced wireless charging back in 2017 with the iPhone X and iPhone 8 series.
This is a surprise, as Apple didn’t mention it in the release notes for iOS 17.4. It means that the sleek and attractive new Anker MagGo Wireless Charger pad will charge the iPhone 12 as fast as Apple’s own pad, but for not much more than half the cost: the Anker pad costs $21.99 while Apple’s costs $39.
March 31 update. Although there’s still no official confirmation from Apple that the iPhone 12 can now charge faster on Qi2 wireless chargers, there are more details coming to light. For instance, it results in a curious situation where some Qi2 chargers made by companies which are not Apple, can charge the iPhone 12 not as fast as an Apple own-brand charger, but actually faster.
However, I’d say the Anker is still the winner since it looks and feels great and is cheaper than the official alternative. March 31 update.
