Believe it or not, the iPhone 16 is just around the corner. With summer coming to an end and September just around the corner, Apple will hold its first keynote of the season to unveil the new iPhone 16 and maybe the new generation of all Apple Watch models. Although maybe for the smart watch, Apple decides to wait until October. While waiting for the iPhone 16, rumors are circulating and a few days ago new fast charging features were mentioned. It seems, The iPhone 16 will boost its fast battery charging capability with power delivery support of up to 40W,
More powerful fast charging is coming to the iPhone 16
Apple uses USB-PD technology to provide fast charging to the iPhone. This technology Allows you to charge the battery more efficiently and quickly provided you use the appropriate accessories. When we connect the cable to the iPhone, the device and the charger transmit information and decide what amount of energy is optimal to avoid damaging the battery by this type of charge. Once the voltage and amperage for fast charging are set, the battery is charged, according to Apple, reaching 50% battery in about 30 minutes.
The iPhone 15 allows for a 50% fast charge in about 30 minutes with chargers with a power of 20W or more. However, although chargers of more than 20W can be used, Apple assures that there are no additional improvements that could be useful to the user himself.

A new report published by ITHome, the iPhone 16 could charge faster than any previous iPhone allowing this new device consumes up to 40W of energy. This would mean being able to reach 50% of the battery in half the time of the iPhone 15, that is to say in 15 minutes. A big change that will allow users to get more charge in less time, although this is only really useful when the battery is completely drained.
We’ll see if Apple finally takes the plunge with promoting these iPhone 16 fast charging improvements or if this just remains a rumor.
