The iPhone is notorious for its slow charging speed, and Apple’s devices have never been known for fast charging. In fact, they are known for being one of the slowest on the market. Take a quick look at the competitors. Companies such as OnePlus, Oppo, and Xiaomi offer speeds ranging from 65W to 125W; for several years, even Samsung has been providing charging speeds of 20-25W. According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 13 series may change this situation.
The current iPhone 12 generation only supports 20W charging; however, according to rumors from China (via MacRumors), this may change in the future. There are rumors that iPhone 13 may support 25W charging speed.
iPhone can be charged with a power adapter much faster than 20W. Nevertheless, they are usually limited by software to charge at a much slower speed to protect the device from unauthorized power adapters and charging cables, as well as any potential power failures that some fake adapters may cause. This is understandable, but even if you spend money on Apple’s power adapter and USB-C cable, you can still only get fast charging up to 20W. Apple’s current 20W power adapter retails for $19.99. If you need a cable, you must purchase the cable separately.
going from 20W to 25W will not really provide any significant difference you feel on a typical daily basis. One of the reasons why the iPhone may support 25W charging this year is rumors of a larger battery capacity. The iPhone 13 Pro series may have a larger battery because it may also support a 120Hz refresh rate, which is known to consume more power. The additional 5W charging speed may compensate for the larger battery and the more power required, but this is only an assumption at this stage.
The next-generation iPhone 13 series may provide an always-on display, a larger battery, 1TB of storage space, and an LTPO display with a 120Hz high refresh rate panel. They are expected to arrive sometime in September. TEchloaded
