    They don't waste their battery unlike you android users, so they don't need any fast charging.

    Plus, it has been proven by MrWhoseTheBoss that fast charging massively hurts the battery of the phone. So keep on believing the "OMG phones with 120W charging have same charging cycles as 12W charging". That's not how physics works.

        VOOC is way different from garbage charging on iPhones.
        You are just embarrassing yourself with your knowledge.

        Iboyzz are ignorant about the Cons of being in a walled Garden ecosystem. Simply clueless about features that other people use. Another reason why this company is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to innovation in the smartphone segment

          Minimum in android is 18watts can fully charge 4-5k mah battery in 1:30hour midrange smartphone have 25watts+ 🤭

          Xiaomi have 120watts can fully charge smartphones in 15minutes 🤭

          Right now xiaomi is working on 200watts charging 😂 can fully charge your phone in blink of your eye 😁

It's a god damn charger. You have absolutely no clue how batteries even work, do you?

And you'd know you're wrong if you actually held an iPhone in your hands in the last 2 years. That feature you mention will cripple charging speed even more.

                      2020 and i really don't care about wireless charging.
                      - It's much slower than wired charging, taking 2 or 3 hours vs 1h in wired fast charging (or less).
                      - You still have to have a base (or magsafe) with a cable in your desk so, there's still cables.
                      - When you grab your phone it'll stop charging or it'll be very awkward to hold with the base or magsafe attached and magsafe will fall off. With wired you can use the phone easily while the cable is connected.
                      - With wired fast charging, you plug your phone, start to work or go take a shower and shave and it's done.
                      - The only advantage is when we stop having a charge port because wireless charge will be fast enough and Apple removes the port. And so, water resistance will be much better because there's one less spot for water to enter the device.

                            Just because you have to charge your iPhone by the end of the day owing to weak battery life doesn't mean other people have to do it as well.
                            On Android, you get phones which straight up give 2 day battery life.

                                        You look at the endurance rating, similar to iPhone 11 Pro max at 102hr endurance. When you break down the battery test, you can see iPhone 11 Pro Max beats your Sony in web browsing and video consumption. Winning in 3G phone calls only, Yeah.. use your sony to keep calling .. calling.. ahahahah.
