iPhone Fast Charging Methods and Available Fast Charging Adapters


In this article, we will talk about iPhone fast charging methods, fast charging adapters, and how to charge the iPhone faster under normal conditions.

As with any electronic device, charging the iPhone or iPad is extremely easy, but Apple's charging time for these devices is very high because the wattage of standard power adapters that come out of the box of the devices is very low.

Many Apple customers do not know that the charging speed of the iPhone varies depending on how it charges the device. In fact, it is possible to charge an iPhone faster using a few small tricks.

iPhone Quick Charge Adapters

If you want to charge your iPhone or iPad faster, you should purchase a power adapter that offers high-speed charging. Yes, it is a fact that in order to charge the iPhone fast, it is necessary to turn to a stronger power adapter.

In general, the iPhone charges faster as the power adapter's Watt count increases. Of course, this has a peak limit. There is a maximum Watt limit for power adapters used to charge an iPhone or iPad. This limit is controlled by the iPhone, not the power adapter. Therefore, it is not possible to exceed the maximum power limit.

Standard iPhone Charging Adapter

If you want to charge the iPhone lightning connection cable from the USB port of your Mac or PC, the power you can get as standard is 2.5W. An iPhone power adapter out of the box delivers 5W of power. The power adapter that comes out of the box of iPads offers 12W power.

That is, the power adapter for the iPhone is low for the iPhone, and the power adapter for the iPad is low for the iPad. In short, it is not possible to quickly charge the iPad or iPhone directly using the power adapters that come in the box of an iPad or iPhone.

USB-C Charging Adapter

Apple has taken an important step for fast charging with the launch of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. Using specific ones from USB-C power adapters, it is possible to charge about 50 percent of our specified devices in just 30 minutes. For this you need a power adapter with USB-C port and USB-C to Lightning connection cable.

While USB-C has USB 3.1 speeds, a typical USB power adapter is only limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

Apple sells the USB-C power adapter and USB-C to Lightning connection cable separately. Apple sells three high-wattage USB-C power adapters;


  1. 30 W USB-C Power Adapter 
  2. 61 W USB-C Power Adapter 
  3. 96 W USB-C Power Adapter


You should get a USB-C to Lightning connection cable with these power adapters. The USB-C - Lightning connection cables sold by Apple are as follows;


  1. USB-C - Lightning Cable (1 m) 
  2. USB-C - Lightning Cable (2 m)


The best way to charge the iPhone fast is to use the USB-C power adapter, but it's obviously not a cheap option in terms of price.

Note that the power adapters and cables above are Apple's original products. Third-party power adapters or cables may be a preferred option in that they are more affordable. You will get a non-Apple power adapter, we recommend you pay attention to the wattage and the licensed product.

Can Wireless Charging be Used for Fast Charging?


Apple brought wireless charging to its devices with 2017 iPhone models. The maximum wireless charging speed available for an iPhone is limited to 7.5W. Charging the iPhone wirelessly is therefore close to the standard charging speed. You can even get faster charging time when you charge your iPhone using the 12W power adapter that comes out of the iPad's box.

Things to Watch Out for Charging iPhone Faster

The first trick worth mentioning to charge iPhone faster is to enable Airplane Mode. It has been proven that the iPhone charged faster by turning off the cellular network connection and Wi-Fi. Because both connections are off, the iPhone consumes less power. This significantly shortens the charging time.



While charging the iPhone, open Control Center and tap the Airplane icon. You cannot make or receive phone calls with your iPhone while Airplane Mode is enabled.

Another fast charge number is to turn off the iPhone and charge it. Because when the iPhone is off, it does not consume any power. Connect to the power adapter so you can charge your iPhone when it's off. Then turn it off and wait about 2 hours. You will see that your iPhone will charge faster.
