These might have enhancements, even though the listing says they are outwardly identical to the current MagSafe chargers. The length of the braided cable is the only distinction between the two models; the longer cables of the A3502 and A3503 (one and two meters long, respectively) provide more flexibility and convenience during charging.

The most recent iPhone 16 models are incompatible with the most recent standard, Qi2.1, even though they can wirelessly charge up to 25W with a 30W MagSafe charger. Users of older models can rest assured that they will still be able to use the new MagSafe chargers, although the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to benefit the most from them. The chargers are designed to support a wide range of iPhone models, from the most recent iPhone 16 to the iPhone 11, according to the listing. In addition to higher charging rates, the Qi2.2 standard is expected to increase charging efficiency and magnetic alignment, ensuring that all iPhone users can enjoy the benefits of this technological advancement.

Leaked Apple Charger Reveals iPhone 17 Will Have Fast Charging
It looks like iPhones, including the expected iPhone 17, could be getting a big boost from an upgrade to their wireless MagSafe chargers. As reported by 91mobiles, a recent image of Apple MagSafe chargers included model numbers that support the Qi 2.2 charging standard. That's according to photos that 91mobiles spotted on Taiwan's National Communications Commission website. The NCC is the regulatory body that verifies devices for telecom products. If the rumors are correct, it would mean Apple would jump from its current Qi 2.0, which supports a maximum charging speed of 25W. The Qi 2.2 standard supports speeds of 50W, according to 91mobiles. Additionally, Qi 2.2 could improve magnetic alignment, so your iPhone snaps to the charger correctly and quickly. That could potentially improve charging efficiency and reduce heat generation. And for those of us who want to hold onto our old phones instead of upgrading to the new iPhone, Qi 2.2 promises backward compatibility to as far back as the iPhone 11. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
