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.
