Some iPhone 15 models could get faster charging

It seems like some iPhone 15 models could get faster charging. This information comes 9to5Mac, and the site got the info from “industry sources”.

Some iPhone 15 models are said to offer faster charging, finally

At the moment, the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus support 20W wired charging, and the ‘Pro’ iPhones offer 27W wired charging support. That charging is quite slow by modern standards, as it takes the iPhone 14 Pro Max around two hours to fully charge.

35W charging would improve things a bit, and that would be a welcomed change. Now, the source said that some iPhone 15 models will get faster charging. If we had to guess, we’d say the ‘Pro’ models will get it. That would make sense. The regular models will probably remain stuck at 20W.

As a reminder, all iPhone 15 models are getting Type-C USB ports this year. Also, last year, Apple showed off a dual-port 35W USB-C charger. So that charger could be used to charge the new iPhones at full speed. You, of course, won’t get a charger in the iPhone 15 retail box.

35W will still be considerably slower than what the competition offers

Now, even if 35W charging ends up being a reality for some iPhone 15 models, that’s still quite slow compared to the competition. A ton of Chinese smartphone OEMs offer much faster charging.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra, for example, offers 120W charging, as does the OPPO Find X6 Pro. The OnePlus 11 supports 100W charging (80W in the US), while the Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition goes up to 210W.

As a reminder, all iPhone 15 models will also feature a Dynamic Island cutout. The ‘Pro’ models will have thinner bezels, and also titanium frames. The Pro Max variant is also tipped to feature a periscope telephoto camera, which will be a first for any iPhone.

All four devices are tipped to arrive either on September 12 or 13. They’ll become available to pre-order a couple of days after that, and go on sale on September 22.
