Upgrading from the iPhone 16? Will your charger still do?
Maybe not at full speed. The iPhone 17 range charges at up to 30W, more than the iPhone 16's 27W, so a charger that suited the iPhone 16 may now be the slowest part. Any USB-C PD charger of 30W or more is enough.

iPhone 17 charger questions
What wattage charger does the iPhone 17 need?
The iPhone 17 takes up to 27W, the iPhone 17 Pro takes up to 30W and the iPhone 17 Pro Max takes up to 30W. A USB-C Power Delivery charger of 30W or more charges all of them at full speed.
How long does the iPhone 17 take to charge?
With the SMARTGEAR 45W USB-C Super Fast Charger 3 Port GaN Wall Charger, the iPhone 17 charges from empty to full in about 49 minutes, the iPhone 17 Pro in about 45 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max in about 57. Phones and tablets slow down near the top to protect the battery, so the first half is much quicker than the last.
Is a 65W or 100W charger safe for the iPhone 17?
Yes. A USB-C Power Delivery charger only supplies what the device asks for, so the iPhone 17 takes up to 30W from a bigger charger and no more. The spare power can charge a second device from another port at the same time.
Do I need a special cable for the iPhone 17?
No. Any USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 3A (60W) carries the iPhone 17's full 30W. If you need one, the SMARTGEAR 100W USB-C Cable 2m is £8.99.
