Apple’s newly revealed iPhone Duo finally confirms long-standing rumors—yes, the foldable iPhone supports MagSafe. The Duo incorporates a magnetic charging array, allowing wireless charging at up to 25 watts, matching the wireless power levels of the iPhone 18 Pro series. Third-party Qi2.2 accessories can also deliver that same 25 W rate.
Charging Modes: Wireless Vs. Wired
While wireless charging via MagSafe or Qi2.2 peaks at 25 W, wired charging remains faster—but not by as much as on other recent models. The wired charging rate will take the iPhone Duo to 50 percent battery in about 20 minutes, compared with just 15 minutes for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max series. Users hoping for breakneck wired charging speeds may still find the Duo a step behind in that regard.
Release Info & Pricing
The foldable iPhone Duo becomes available for preorder on October 16, with full availability beginning October 23. It starts at a hefty price—$1,999—for the base 256 GB model.
Before this announcement, it was unclear whether the Duo’s foldable design would include MagSafe. The matching wireless performance to the iPhone 18 Pro series underscores Apple’s intent to make MagSafe a consistent feature across its flagship lineup—even as form factors evolve rapidly.
This development matters because wireless charging, especially powerful MagSafe, has become increasingly central to Apple’s ecosystem strategy. The decision to support full 25 W wireless charging—and to provide nearly matching wired speeds—signals that the foldable Duo isn’t just a niche device, but a fully realized flagship. Going forward, it’ll be worth watching whether battery life and device thickness reflect this battery and charging hardware, as well as how third-party accessory makers respond to full-speed Qi2.2 demand.
