Many brands, instead of focusing on improving their cell phone batteries to last longer without going to the outlet, focus on giving their smartphones fast, but very fast charges that can increase the limits from 0 to 100% in a few minutes.
Apple is one of the most conservative companies on this point. While Xiaomi is already experimenting with 300W fast charging that can recharge its phones in as little as five minutes, those in Cupertino have been “stuck” at speeds that do not exceed 30W.
While Apple’s iPhone phones charge fast – though not as fast as its competitors – you need to use chargers that can deliver that level of power. And since Apple decided a long time ago not to include chargers in the boxes of its phones, only the Lightning to USB-C cable, we tell you what it is some of the best fast chargers for iphone.
How much power can iPhones be charged?
Apple is pretty terse in providing information on charging its iPhone phones, even though it has a support page on the subject. It contains the following information:
Since iPhone 8 it is possible to quickly recharge the battery up to 50% in just 30 minutes. This requires an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:
- USB-C power adapter 18W (iPhone 12 and later requires 20W), 20W, 29W, 30W, 35W, 61W, 67W, 87W, 96W, or 140W from Apple (meaning that even the most powerful MacBook Pro chargers can be used).
- Equivalent third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB PD).
If we have a relatively new iPhone, a 20W USB-C power adapter would be more than enough to get that 50% charge in just 30 minutes. However, iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max users can enjoy fast charging from 25W to 29W at peak times, respectively, based on testing, and a 30W power adapter would be required.
