Apple's new MagSafe charger for the iPhone 12 family doubles the wireless charging speed but is still slower compared to the wired solution.

We all appreciate Low Power Mode for what it can do when our iPhone’s battery level gets a bit too low. With the flip of a switch, this feature lets users squeeze just a bit more time out of their near-drained battery, and it’s a godsend that Apple offers this feature on its iPhone platform.
Some even believe that using Low Power Mode while charging can increase the rate at which an iPhone charges by reducing simultaneous power drain. Building upon the likes of this curious idea is a newly released jailbreak tweak called BatteryRamp by iOS developer MegaDev.
