New 5G iPhone 12 Mini Limited to 12W Charging With MagSafe

Apple's new 5G iPhone 12 mini is limited to 12W charging with a MagSafe charger, according to a recently published support document.

The MagSafe Charger is designed to quickly and safely wirelessly charge your iPhone 12. The system intelligently adapts to conditions in order to optimize charging iPhone 12 at up to 15W of peak power delivery for faster wireless charging. The actual power delivered to the iPhone will vary depending on the wattage of the power adapter and system conditions. For iPhone 12 mini, the MagSafe Charger delivers up to 12W of peak power delivery.

Notably, Apple recommends that connect the MagSafe charger to power before placing your iPhone on it. A 20W power adapter is advised.


It's important to plug into a power source before placing your iPhone on the MagSafe Charger. This allows MagSafe to verify it's safe to deliver maximum power. If you happen to place your iPhone on the MagSafe Charger before plugging into a power source, simply remove your iPhone from the MagSafe Charger, wait three seconds, and then put it back on to resume maximum power delivery.

The new iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch display, A14 processor, 5G support, and more. It will be available pre-order on November 6th. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
