If the most recent report from the Chinese-language website IT Home is to be thought, it will take a lot less time to charge up your iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max. Apple’s Pro-model iPhones this year are declared to get a huge increase in optimum charging speed: as much as 40W (from 27W) when utilizing an USB-C connection and 20W (up from 15W) when utilizing a MagSafe-certified cordless battery charger.
That’s a 50 percent enhancement in optimum wired charging speed and a 33 percent enhancement in cordless (when utilizing a MagSafe battery charger).
The claim is that the increased speed is implied to balance out the bigger batteries being available in the iPhone 16 Pro designs, however that does not make a great deal of sense to us … the increased battery capability is stated to be just 2.5 percent approximately on the iPhone 16 Pro and 5.7 percent on the Pro Max. Offered the method charging speeds lessen as the state of charge boosts, such modest battery capability boosts weren’t going to make a substantial distinction in charging times.
If real, this report is fantastic news for anybody thinking about an iPhone 16 Pro this year. A boost to 40W of charging speed with just a 3-6 percent boost in battery capability will imply much shorter charging times for those with higher-power USB-C power adapters. For more on what we anticipate to see from Apple’s brand-new iPhones this fall, take a look at our iPhone 16 report roundup.
