Magsafe duo adapter power adapter requirements for max power charging

If I have the discontinued Apple 87W USB-C power adapter from MacBook Pro, will it deliver max power while charging as I’m not sure if that adapter supports PD 3.0.

I'm sort of answering my own question now :) When I took a closer look at my adapter, it has some very small print that says it supports 9V/3A USB-PD in addition to other USB-PD profiles. In conclusion, the Apple 87W USB-C power adapter supports maximum power delivery of 14W to iPhone 12 Pro when charging through the MagSafe Duo.

Thanks for your reply. I’d like to know if I’m using my 87W adapter, does it have the 9V/3A profile to support maximum power delivery of 14W to charge my iPhone 12 Pro Max?
