iPhone 17 Pro has been in users’ hands for a few days now, so we’re starting to get fresh details on the device. Today, ChargerLAB has shared its findings after testing iPhone 17 Pro Max’s charging speeds, and the results show big upgrades over last year.
Charging speeds for iPhone 17 Pro Max hit 36W, up 20% over last year
Last year, the iPhone 16 Pro set new records for iPhone charging speeds by topping out around 30W. That was about a 20% increase over iPhone 15 Pro.
But it seems Apple has another big year of charging gains this year.
iPhone 17 Pro Max was tested by ChargerLAB with 15 different Apple chargers.
The results showed charging speeds that went up to 36W—which makes for another 20% year-over-year gain.
You can hit this max 36W speed with a variety of Apple chargers, including the new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter that excels in fast charging.
Apple’s MagSafe charger impressed by offering 32W charging speeds. But for anything faster than that, a wired charging connection using an Apple 40W charger or higher offered the best results.

So far, ChargerLAB has only published charging results with Apple chargers, and only for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Based on Apple’s tech specs, the iPhone Air may not charge as fast as the 17 Pro line. But I’m curious to see the results when they’re published.
