Apple quietly made a massive update to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 lineup with their new iOS 26 update. They now officially support the new Qi2.2 wireless charging standard, allowing you to wirelessly fast-charge your iPhone at up to 25W. So one of my favorite iPhone accessory brands released their new Qi2.2 X40 Turbo charger, which I reviewed early last month. It was the first charger to bring true Qi2.2 25W fast charging to your iPhone. Today, they have doubled down on it and released the perfect companion to the new Cosmic Orange iPhone, with a perfectly color-matched X40 Turbo.
Here is a quick rundown for those who did not see the original review:
25 W Qi2.2 fast-charging for supported iPhones: iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max iPhone Air
15 W Qi2/MagSafe-level charging for older models
Fast-charge support for Apple Watch and AirPods
25 % smaller and slimmer than the original X40
Thermal control under 40 °C for sustained efficiency
It is the perfect charger for basically any situation. Whether you use it on your nightstand, at a desk, or take it on the go, it will fit any scenario. The best part is that it includes a 45W charging brick, a braided USB-C cable, and a hardshell carrying case! All that for under $80.
The big update this time around is that their new version is made with an anodized orange aluminum frame is tailor-made for Apple’s latest “Cosmic Orange” iPhone.
My experience
I tested this new orange edition with the iPhone 17 Pro over several days, and the results were identical to my earlier numbers with the 16 Pro. Charging from 10 % to 80 % still took under 50 minutes, and it stayed cool. The magnets align perfectly, and that 25 W speed feels like the first time wireless charging finally makes sense for daily use. The charger is also insanely thin and compact. You can fold it down into a puck, or you can unfold it into a stand mode. You can also completely unfold it and lay it flat on a table. It’s amazing how versatile and well-built this is, especially the hinges!
Qi2.2 support
I did want to mention again that this is a Qi2.2-enabled charger. If you have an iPhone 16 or newer and you are on iOS 26 or newer, you will be able to charge at 25W. If you have an older iPhone, then it will cap out at 15W of charging.
Pricing, availability & final thoughts
The Kuxiu X40 Turbo in orange is available now for $78.99 on Kuxiu’s official site. For that price, you get the charger, a braided USB-C cable, a 45 W charging brick, and a hard-shell carrying case, still one of the best all-in-one bundles out there. They also have three other colors: wood grain, gray and black. But again, if you have an orange iPhone, the new orange color is a must!
