We know that theiPhone 15range is moving from Lightning connectors toUSB-C, and we’ve seen multiple reports suggesting that that move means that the Pro models will also be getting super-fast data transfer speeds. But USB-C can also deliver faster charging, and it looks like at least someiPhone15 models will benefit from that. That’s good news for anyone who finds themselves in a hurry to charge an iPhone that doesn’t seem to share your urgency.
According to 9to5Mac’s industry sources, “at least some” of the iPhone 15 models will be able to charge at speeds of up to 35W. That’s a significant improvement over theiPhone 14 ProandPro Max, for whichAppleoffers up to 30W charging, although it’s still a long way behind the ridiculously fast300W HyperChargethat Xiaomi unveiled a few months ago. But it’s good news for you and for Apple too: faster charging is handy, and from Apple’s point of view it’s another sales opportunity to sell you an expensive charger – because of course iPhones don’t come with chargers in the box any more.
What iPhone 15 models will get fast charging?
We don’t know yet. But we’ve had multiple reports in recent months suggesting that any fast charging capabilities will be limited to MFI-certified (Made For iPhone) chargers and cables, and given the reports thatApple may only offer the fastest data speedsto its best and most expensive iPhone 15 models, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s highly likely that Apple will do exactly the same with fast charging.
Artificial shortages aside, faster charging is a welcome move even if it’s taken Apple about five years to catch up with some of thebest Android phones. It’s not a huge deal for me because I work from home and just use MagSafe stands and pucks when my phone is idle, but if you tend to drive your iPhone hard when you’re out and about then faster wired charging means a lot less hanging about in coffee shops or offices waiting for your phone to juice up.
