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.
The iPhone 15 series came with Qi2 compatibility from day one, meaning that Qi2 pads from any manufacturer could achieve fast 15W charging.Then, with iOS 17.2 released last December, Apple announced that it had achieved the same step forward for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 with that software update. But of the only other iPhone with MagSafe, the iPhone 12, there was no mention.
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 or faster than Apple’s own pad, but for not much more than half the cost: the Anker pad costs $21.99 while Apple’s costs $39.
