We could be only days away from the iPhone thirteen being revealed, and no incertitude when it comes, there will be new iPhone 13 accessories joining it. And we may have just had a glimpse of one of these peripherals.

What looks to be a new version of the Apple MagSafe charger has been found within the FCC database (seen by Dave Zatz and 9to5Mac). As the last stop of a device's trip earlier hitting store shelves, finding this product in the database is an heady sign of an upcoming Apple announcement.

MagSafe is a magnetic charging arrangement that debuted with the iPhone 12 series, and it includes a basic charging puck that delivers upwardly to 15 watts of ability. There's too the MagSafe Duo iPhone/Apple Watch charger, and the portable MagSafe Battery Pack. In add-on, there are several third-party MagSafe devices on the market.

The original MagSafe charger has a version number of A2140. The new one just establish in the database is A2548, and was submitted on August 13 of this year for evaluation. The images included with the application shows how the FCC approval label is printed at the USB-C finish of the charger's cable, too equally the same circular design equally earlier.

The tests itself were completed with four "Legacy Telephone" models, which characteristic codes that refer to the 4 phones in the iPhone 12 serial. Also present are iv "New Phone" models, presumably the iPhone 13 series, all eight of these devices fitted with a silicone case (likely to make sure the charger works through it) and 2 different power adapters. The FCC also tested it with a pair of AirPods, which is interesting since we could see the AirPods 3 at the same time as the iPhone 13.

Annoyingly, the information doesn't seem to bear witness that anything has changed with this version of MagSafe. The charging speed is the same every bit before: 15W for iPhones, and 1W for AirPods. Apple could have refined the pattern in ways that the FCC's testing wouldn't need to account for, but it's a compassion that Apple's seemingly sticking with a relatively ho-hum wireless charging speed.

9to5Mac references an before July report saying that the iPhone xiii MagSafe charger could feature stronger magnets, but that doesn't seem similar a big upgrade.

Based on previous years' announcements, the iPhone 13 could be revealed side by side week, with the announcement of the Apple event maybe being made today. The rumored upgrades include a 120Hz display on the Pro models, new camera lenses, computational photography upgrades like portrait style video, larger batteries for all iv models, a new more powerful A15 Bionic chipset and a smaller notch on the display.
