Patrik Siwek For years, modern phones, led by the iPhone, are no longer just a phone, but replace us with navigation systems, game consoles, iPods, fitness trackers, cameras and basically everything you can think of. As a result, the charging frequency is getting higher and higher, and most of us want to charge our iPhone in the shortest possible time. The instructions on how to achieve this are relatively simple, and the charger has the greatest influence on how quickly your iPhone charges, of course. Apple itself recommends using an iPad charger on its official website to charge the iPhone faster. So you don't have to worry about damaging your phone. In addition, it is possible to charge even AirPods with the iPad charger. In their case, you won't speed up the charging, but you don't have to worry about harming them.
So, if you walk past the window of your favorite Apple retailer from time to time and still think about what else to treat yourself to for a gadget that won't drain your wallet, then it's clearly an iPad charger. Of course, you can also use the USB port of one of the new Macs or a quality charger for the cigarette lighter in the car for fast charging. The iPad charger can charge the iPhone 7 Plus to 90% battery capacity in two hours. If you really care about seconds and need to get as much power as possible into your phone before you take a shower and go to an evening party, then use the following tricks.
Put your phone in airplane mode. Thanks to this, the phone basically turns off everything that uses it except the display, namely GSM, GPS and Bluetooth. When you then turn off the display and turn off all applications, basically, in terms of battery charging speed, this mode is comparable to charging a switched-off phone. Apple itself also recommends removing the covers or covers from the phone to ensure proper heat dissipation and prevent the battery from overheating. If the phone detects a higher battery temperature than is standard, it will reduce the charging speed or even stop it completely for a while. It is also important to use original or certified cables that will not damage the device being charged and also provide it with the highest possible power transfer from the charger to the iPhone. If you follow all of the above principles, your iPhone will charge much faster and you can be sure that you won't damage it in any way. All advice is given directly by Apple on its official website.
Hi, can I have a link to where Apple says it won't harm the iPhone? I need it for a paranoid friend. :D
Hello, directly in the product description on Apple's website, all iPhone models are listed as compatible with this charger. See https://www.apple.com/cz/shop/product/MD836ZM/A/12w-usb-napájec%C3%AD-adaptér-apple?fnode=91
This might do the trick:

It's not much faster... I have an iPad at home and I use its charger to charge my iPhone 6 and I can't say that I would notice a difference compared to the iPhone charger... wasted money in my opinion!
Seriously? wow, I don't know, but this video shows something different and the vast majority of people have the same experience. You can find hundreds of these videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMoGwo98mUM
Yes, important. I don't know how the 7+, which has a bigger battery, behaves, I haven't even researched YouTube because of that, but I charge the 6s and divide it between the included charger and the one from the iPad, it's at the level of statistical errors.
Nice manipulation to write about the experience that charging is about as fast with the non-plus version and faster with the plus version with the words: "the video shows something different and the vast majority of people have the same experience".
I would add to the previous posts that it is not just the plus version. The iPhone version 7 should be able to charge slightly faster than the 6 or 6s, so the benefit of a more powerful charger can be expected.
And a note on the side – the most significant benefit is to use a 29W charger from a Macbook 12 with a Lightning/USB-C cable, but it will be used more with an iPad, it will not harm the iPhone (see description at https://www.apple.com/cz/shop/product/MK0X2ZM/A/usb-c-lightning-kabel-1-m?fnode=91&fs=f%3Dcable-charger%26fh%3D4588%252B45d4%252B45c4 ), but the added value is not high, rather it is more perspective for the future.
Hi, from iOS version 8.3 inclusive, the GPS reception does not turn off. The system is always on.
