Iphone faster charging cable

Fast charge your iPhone

Use fast charge with certain iPhone models. You can recharge your iPhone up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes.

You can fast charge your iPhone 8 and later up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes. 1

Fast charging works when you use an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

• Apple 18W, 20W, 2 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C Power Adapter
• A comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)

If you’re not sure which Apple Power Adapter you have, check the wattage on the top or bottom of the adapter:

iPhone X Charging Speeds Compared: The Fastest and Easiest Ways to Charge Your iPhone

With the addition of both fast charging and wireless charging to Apple’s 2017 iPhone lineup, there are more ways than ever to charge your iPhone. Every method is different — some are faster and more expensive, while others are slower but more convenient.

We tested several charging accessories from both Apple and third-party manufacturers with the iPhone X to see how charging speeds compare across different charging methods. These tests also apply to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which share many of the same features available in the iPhone X.

Accessories Tested

The 5W and 12W chargers from Apple were paired with a standard Lightning cable from Apple, priced starting at $19. All USB-C charging accessories were paired with a USB-C to Lightning cable from Apple, priced starting at $25.

Methodology

We used the same iPhone X for all tests, plugged into the same outlet. Between tests, the battery was drained to one percent, and then battery percent was checked at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes while charging.

For all tests, the iPhone X was placed into Airplane mode with no apps running. The display was deactivated except for the four time checks. Tests were conducted without a case on the iPhone X.

Results

The absolute fastest way to charge an iPhone 8, iPhone X, or iPhone 8 Plus is with a USB-C power adapter and an accompanying USB-C to Lightning cable. Charging with USB-C activates a «fast-charge» feature that’s designed to charge the iPhone to around 50% in 30 minutes, and I saw about that level of charge in all of my USB-C tests.

5W wireless charging and 5W wired charging with the standard iPhone adapter were the slowest methods that I tested. 7.5W wireless testing was faster than 5W wireless charging, but not by much.

I tested both Apple’s 29W and 87W USB-C chargers that come with the 12-inch MacBook and the 15-inch MacBook Pro, respectively, along with much cheaper 18W and 30W chargers from Choetech and Anker. I saw little difference in charging speeds between 18W and 87W.

Apple’s 29W MacBook charger costs $49 and the USB-C to Lightning cable costs $25, so you’re looking at about $75 for this charging method, but luckily, third party USB-C power adapters work the same way and are more affordable. That 18W Choetech charger I tested, for example, is just $18, while the one from Anker is $30.

Standard iPad and iPhone Chargers

All of Apple’s iPhones ship with a standard 5W power adapter and USB-A to Lightning cable, and charging with the standard setup is excruciatingly slow comparative to other charging methods. It’s not faster than 7.5W wireless charging and it can’t compare to charging with power adapters that put out more juice. At 30 minutes, for example, it had only charged my iPhone to 21 percent, and I only made it to 39 percent after 60 minutes.

That’s not too bad for a setup that’s one of the most affordable I found, and there are a lot of 12W equivalent third-party charging options on the market, including several with multiple ports and other conveniences.

Wireless Chargers

In general, wireless charging is slower than wired charging, but it’s undeniably convenient, and if you’re charging for a lengthy period of time, say at your desk at work or overnight on the night stand, the slower charging doesn’t matter.

That said, 7.5W wireless charging, which was activated in iOS 11.2, was faster than the standard 5W wired charging method in my testing. There’s also a noticeable but slight speed difference between 5W wireless charging and 7.5W wireless charging.

I also tested a Choetech 5W charger that was much slower than the Belkin at 5W, so much so that I wasn’t sure it was an accurate representation of 5W charging. From 1%:

— 15 minutes: 9%
— 30 minutes: 19%
— 45 minutes: 27%
— 60 minutes: 35%

There wasn’t a huge difference between 5W and 7.5W charging in my experience, but 7.5W is faster. If you’re buying a wireless charger, it’s worthwhile to get a 7.5W+ charger that offers faster charging for the iPhone, but which chargers are compatible with 7.5W wireless charging remains something of a mystery.

For a separate post on wireless charging options, we’ve been investigating third-party wireless chargers, and it’s looking like there may be a restriction put in place by Apple to limit 7.5W charging to approved manufacturers. As an example, on the Amazon page for this charger from Choetech, which says it is 7.5W, there is this message:

We get notice from Apple engineer that current IOS only support 5w qi wireless charging currently, 7.5w wireless charging is encrypted and never released to 3rd party manufacturer.

We’ve heard similar information from other manufacturers, but it’s all very nebulous and not something Apple has clearly outlined at this point. For that reason, if you want confirmed 7.5W wireless charging, go with the Belkin, the Mophie, or another charger that specifically states that it’s compatible with Apple’s 7.5W charging.

On the subject of wireless charging, I also tested to see if case thickness impacts charging speed. I tested with a naked iPhone X, an iPhone X in Apple’s Silicone case, and an iPhone X with one of the thickest backs I could find, the glitter-filled iPhone X case from Casetify. Charging speeds were almost identical in all three tests, and while the Casetify case was maybe about 2 percent slower, that can perhaps be chalked up to margin of error. There was zero difference with the thinner Apple case.

If your case works with wireless charging at all (and most do, with the exception of those that have rear magnets or are made from aluminum), it’s going to charge at the same speed or nearly the same speed as a naked iPhone.

Conclusion

To get fast charging on iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus, you don’t need anything over 18W, and you don’t need a USB-C power adapter that’s from Apple. The third-party options work just as well, but you will probably want to pick up Apple’s USB-C to Lightning cable over the alternatives.

Fast charging is going to get you the best charging times, but for less money, you can get the 12W iPad charger and use it with a standard Lightning cable to charge your iPhone almost as fast as you can charge it with fast charging. There’s only about a 10 percent difference between the 12W iPad charger and USB-C charging.

It’s not really worth it using the 5W charger that the iPhone ships with if you can help it, because it’s incredibly slow.

Wireless charging is also a comparatively slow charging method, but it’s convenient to be able to set your iPhone right next to you on a wireless charger and pick it up when necessary without the need to hassle with a cord.

8 лучших кабелей Lightning для iPhone, iPad и iPod Touch

Оригинальные кабели от Apple, конечно, отлично выглядят и гарантированно хорошо работают, но стоят очень дорого. К счастью, многие производители предлагают кабели Lightning значительно дешевле, при этом по качеству ничем не уступают официальным. Сделали подборку лучших кабелей для зарядки iPhone и другой техники Apple.

Лучшие неофициальные кабели Lightning

Baseus Yiven

Начнём с одного из самых популярных производителей недорогих и качественных аксессуаров для смартфонов. Их провода Lightning доступны в четырёх цветах (чёрный, красный, синий и серебристый), длину можно выбрать от 25 сантиметров до 5 метров — по цене эти модели отличаются в 5 раз, но за комфорт и длинные провода приходится платить. К тому же, даже 5-метровый кабель Baseus стоит меньше, чем оригинальная зарядка на айфон.

Что немаловажно, при быстрой зарядке через этот провод смартфон не перегревается, а сам аксессуар полностью совместим с iOS: при подключении вы не увидите сообщения о том, что его не удалось проверить на подлинность.

Anker PowerLine+ II

Это улучшенная версия одного из самых неубиваемых проводов для зарядки iPhone, которые когда-либо существовали. Он выдерживает более 6 тысяч сгибаний в одном месте благодаря двойной оплётке из нейлоновых нитей и сертифицирован для работы с техникой Apple (подробнее про MFi). Эти два параметра сказались и на цене — которая, впрочем, вполне оправдывается долгим сроком службы и способность выживать даже при самом активном использовании.

Essager Magnetic Cable

Магнитный кабель 3 в 1, который подходит для зарядки через Lightning, micro USB и USB-C: в устройства вставляются небольшие коннекторы, а сам провод при необходимости можно прикрепить одним движением за счёт магнитной конструкции. Это экономит место в поездках: вместо трёх кабелей разных типов можно взять с собой один универсальный. Провод полностью совместим с iOS и обеспечивает скорость передачи данных до 480 Мбит/с.

Baseus PD

Бюджетный кабель Lightning / USB-C с поддержкой быстрой зарядки PD до 18 Вт. С ним iPhone X заряжается до 50% за полчаса (при использовании совместимого адаптера). Сам провод защищён от изгибов нейлоновой оплёткой. Поддерживаются все модели iPhone и адаптеры до 20 Вт.

Ugreen US155

Недорогой, но качественный зарядный провод MFi: предупреждение об отсутствии сертификата не выдаёт и гарантированно работает на всех моделях iPhone, iPad и iPod touch с 8-пиновым разъёмом. Длина кабеля от 25 сантиметров до 2 метров — самый короткий вариант идеально подходит для зарядки от пауэрбанка. Выдерживает до 5 000 сгибаний.

Выбор редакции

В качестве бонуса — ещё три отличных кабеля, которыми пользуется редакция It-here. Эти модели точно не подведут!

Anker Powerline II

По качеству сборки и работы не уступает PowerLine+ II, но лишён нейлоновой оплётки и имеет более современный выход на USB-C. Эта модель дешевле и визуально больше похожа на оригинальный кабель Apple Lightning, а за счёт современных технологий и качественных материалов он в 5 раз долговечнее обычных шнурков на айфон из Китая. Отличается сертификацией MFi и отличным ценником за провод длиной 0,9 м.

Snowkids

Ещё один кабель «по мотивам» оригинального, доступен в единственной варианте длиной 1,2 м. Сам провод на 11% толще стандартного, что делает его более прочным и долговечным. В комплекте — фирменная липучка, благодаря которой кабель удобно хранить.

Baseus Glowing Quick Charging Cable

Ультрабюджетный неубиваемый провод с оплёткой и подсветкой, благодаря которой его легко найти в темноте, при этом она недостаточно яркая, чтобы раздражать зрение ночью. Сертифицирован MFi и имеет чип для контроля напряжения, что делает его безопасным для смартфона. Доступно широкое разнообразие размеров и две расцветки: чёрная и красная.
