The announcement of the iPhone Air surprised exactly nobody during today's
Apple "Awe dropping" event. As we finally get officiall details about this
lightweight smartphone model, one of the biggest questions is about the
battery. Thin devices mean thinner batteries, so we've been curious to see
how the iPhone Air will stack up. One thing we now know is that it's less
beefy than standard smartphones when it comes to wireless charging.

According to the tech specs provided by Apple on its website, the iPhone Air
charges at 20W on both MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging, whereas the other
iPhones announced today charge a little faster at 25W. Apple also shared fast-
charging capabilities for the iPhone Air: "Up to 50 percent charge in 30
minutes with 20W adapter or higher (available separately) paired with USBΓÇæC
charging cable, or 30W adapter or higher paired with MagSafe Charger (both
available separately)."

The spec sheet also says that the iPhone Air on its own offers up to 27 hours
of video playback or up to 22 hours of streaming video. When coupled with a
dedicated iPhone Air MagSafe battery pack, those figures jump to up to 40
hours and up to 35 hours, respectively.
