Tomas Chlebek While iPhones don't need to be charged overnight, the two to three hours they need to fully charge in the middle of the day can take too long. Charging can be accelerated in the following ways:
Using a charger with a higher output
The most effective way to increase iPhone charging speed is to use an iPad charger, which is the procedure Apple approved. Included in the packaging of iPhones are chargers with a voltage of five volts per one amp of current, so they have a power of 5 watts. However, iPad chargers are capable of delivering 5,1 volts at 2,1 amperes and have a power of 10 or 12 watts, more than twice as much.
This does not mean that the iPhone will charge twice as fast, but the charging time will be significantly reduced - according to some tests A 12W charger charges an iPhone in more than a third less time than a 5W charger. The charging speed depends on the amount of energy in the battery at which it starts charging, because the more energy the battery already contains, the slower it is necessary to supply more.
With a more powerful charger, the iPhone reaches 70% charged battery in almost half the time than with the charger from the package, but after that the charging speed differs significantly less.
Turning off the iPhone or switching to flight mode
The following tips will only give you a very small boost in charging, but they can be useful in extreme cases of time constraints. Even when the iPhone is charging and not in use, it still consumes power to maintain a connection to Wi-Fi, phone networks, update apps in the background, receive notifications, etc. This consumption naturally slows down the charge - more so the more active the iPhone is.
Turning on low-power mode (Settings > Battery) and flight mode (Control Center or Settings) will limit the activity, and turning off the iPhone will completely minimize it. However, the effects of all these actions are rather small (recharge speed increases by units of minutes), so in most cases it may be more useful to stay on the reception.
Charging at least room temperature
This advice is more about general battery care (maintaining its capacity and reliability) than noticeably speeding up its charging. Batteries heat up when receiving or releasing energy, and at higher temperatures their potential performance decreases. Therefore, it is better not to leave the device in direct sunlight or in a car during summer when charging (and at any other time) - in extreme cases, they may even explode. It may also be appropriate to take the iPhone out of the case when charging, which can prevent heat dissipation.
How to speed up iPhone charging? Buy some Chinese shunt that can do it in half an hour :-D In 2017, it takes 3 hours to charge a phone ha ha ha :-D
So sure... It's interesting how often Apple's batteries last for several years and, on the contrary, problems arise after a few months with competitors. Not to mention the eco impacts, anything else?
That's right, I have an early 2011 MBP with an original Apple battery, and it can easily last 3 hours or play 2 movies during office work. Others can only dream about this.
My 2011 MacBook Air (I think) lasted about 3 minutes after 45 years without a charger.
My Macbook Air 11,6″ from 2011 can still last 2-3 hours without a charger today.
My MBP 13″ mid2010 still has the original battery and lasts approx. 90 minutes..
My MBA 2011 can handle about two hours of YouTube video playback. It didn't seem enough to me, so I bought a new MBP and am sending the MBA out into the world.
For several years, batteries have been of relatively good quality, and rather than how long the battery is old, it is more about how many times, how often and how quickly you charge and discharge it.
For example, I have an 11″ 2013 air, which is almost always in the charger, so it doesn’t have many charge cycles and the battery lasts like new even though it is 4 years old.
the same old mbP 13″ 2011, all the time in the office on the table - in the charger and the battery is also 'like new' - it lasts about 4 hours, which is enough for a 6-year-old laptop.
And how does this relate to the fact that the phone is charged for about 3 hours with the supplied charger? At a time when the competition with scumbags can do it within an hour for half the money. Despite the fact that it lasts much less time.
A telephone is a consumer product. I don't know what the life expectancy of a few years is for me. Have you had your phone for five or more years? By the way, even the battery in the iPhone in question will not last. In addition, Apple could write a book about battery problems. Just a little Google..

She just wants to be fair.
One more thing?
3 hours? Have you ever held in your hand?
Yes, I had an iP from 3 until now. And it is also written in the article.
—– in the middle of the day, two to three hours can ……
Learn to read.
I didn't read the article, I have no reason to. I always use powerful chargers and have never gotten more than two hours on a charge.
Strong, I guess you mean powerful, right? Let's start with at least a little more professional terminology. And is that supposed to be a solution? That I will actually buy a semi-finished product that has the level of Honor 8 for 10 and then I will also buy a charger, a longer cable, mainly with better insulation, because the original will fall apart in a few months……
I don't understand what you're reacting to when you haven't even read it. Yeah, you wanted to be embarrassed. Well, congratulations :-D It worked.
???You are a good fool, since I already had several iPads and we still have a lot of them in the family, I have no reason to buy additional chargers? But your nickname is widely known, everyone knows you're a jerk and as soon as your comment appears somewhere, it's always stupid. Those professional terms???
They once wrote quite reliably somewhere (perhaps it was also on this server?) that charging an iPhone from an iPad charger gradually reduces the life (capacity) of the battery.
I thought so too, but it's not true. The "charger" only takes care of the energy supply process itself, regulation of its quantity is ensured directly by the iPhone.
That's right, the regulator in the device is set so that it can charge the device with a current of a maximum value of, for example, 2A, whether the source can supply this current is another matter.
If I connect a charger to the iPhone, which is supposed to be able to supply 16A, it is nice, but the regulator in the device simply does not allow such a supply of energy to the battery.
The only thing that has to fit is the supply voltage.
They mainly wrote here recently that we have to watch the performance of the chargers so that the maximum A's don't blow up your phone. Suddenly it's different...it was enough to "just" point out 100 times that they shouldn't write nonsense and they don't claim it anymore.
Well, I don't know about you, but for me, the charger from the iPad certainly won't charge the iPhone (6s) faster, even by mistake. The time is exactly the same. TODAY, I consider this sentence "With a more powerful charger, the iPhone reaches 70% charged battery in almost half as much time as with the charger from the package" TODAY. It worked, but a long time ago, then Apple fixed it (for battery protection reasons). The formula that remains on their website today, and what you refer to, that "some devices can charge faster" is quite vague and, in my opinion, only in the style of "covering our backs so that someone with an older device is not surprised". This is definitely not the current state of affairs for the new iPhones.
If you plug the iPhone into the iPad charger, it's obviously much cooler, almost cold, than when it's charging the iPad. The circuits handling the charging in the iPhone cannot claim more energy on a more powerful charger.
I don't agree. My iPhone 7 Plus actually charges noticeably faster when connected to the iPad charger than when connected to the one that came with the phone. That's why I take the iPad with me everywhere I travel.
Well, that's pretty bullshit, because I have an iPhone 7 Plus charged an hour faster with an iPad charger.. the PowerCube charger also charges an hour faster.. try it first before you post nonsense here. If they all charge slowly, you have a faulty mobile phone... but I never use anything weaker than 2.1A. The included 1A is useless.
Slightly off topic, is anyone having a problem with call sound on the iPhone 7 plus? I returned the first one two days after I bought it and got a new one because everyone told me that the sound goes up and down. Well, now it happens to me that even the other new iP7+ sometimes goes crazy. Through FaceTime audio sounds great on both sides, but GSM calls are terrible. Does anyone know what to do with it? ??♂️
It seems to me that GSM is worse every month, I call my loved ones via FT. Many times I don't understand what someone says to me on GSM, and we both have 4G/LTE. I have O2.
I have T-Mobile and I find that more and more people are starting to hate 7Plus on GSM. I also have to call through FT audio so I don't have a problem. They told me at the support that they haven't come across it yet, but there are already enough articles about it, so I would be surprised if Apple hasn't heard about it..
I have an iPhone 6s, but I see it on many devices around me, and when a colleague handed me an xperia to do something, I didn't understand at all. ?
