Apple, It's Time to Speed Up Those Sluggish Chargers
Your iPhone, specifically an iPhone 8 or later, is capable of quicker charging speeds. However, Apple doesn't provide the required tools for this feature by default. A recent rumor hints that this may change soon.
Apple's devices ship with a 5W charging block, but according to Apple's own specifications, these devices can support faster charging with a USB-C to Lightning cable and certain power adapters, such as a 18W, 29W, 30W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter. But, these additional power adapters come at an extra cost.
As per a report from Mac Otakara, Apple might include the necessary tools for fast charging, a USB-C to Lightning cable and a 18W USB-C Power Adapter, with its future iPhone series. It's about time, Apple!
Gizmodo's tests revealed that any power adapter above a 12-watt charger significantly boosted charging speeds for iPhone 8 or later models, though the difference wasn't as stark for later models.
The drawback? Purchasing these additional tools could cost up to $50. It's strange, given that the same company says its devices are capable of faster charging, but only if you pay for it.
Apple remains silent on the matter, but if they do adopt this change, it would also allow users to charge their iPhones directly from their laptops without needing a separate cable.
Apple is known for its groundbreaking innovations. It's about time they let their devices showcase their potential without the need for extra purchases.
