iPhone 16 Pro to get 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe wireless charging

10 July 2024
It is however unclear how much faster they will charge compared to their predecessors.

Apple responds by finally giving 40w wired charging.
Samsung fires back by changing the S25 Ultra charging to 39w.

    Techgg, 10 Jul 2024Other companies are confident in putting crazy fast e.g 100... moreYou may be right but big brands will disagree.

      Anonymous, 10 Jul 2024That’s a lot of confidence for such a lack of factsVivo is and I believe oppo is offering warranties for batteries.. I'd say that's enough grounds for their confidence in their charging technology

        .alpha, 10 Jul 2024The issue is iPhone 15 Pro Max charging slows down to 3 min... moreThat sounds great to me 80% is the battery health sweet spot

          This is bad news, apple is going to allow 40W peak for 1 minute in the overall charging curve

          And then triple the price of the sold separately charger

          Or they will slow down the charging limit to 10W bias software and tell customers they did it to preserve smartphone battery life for older models

              The issue is iPhone 15 Pro Max charging slows down to 3 minutes per 1% after 80%. It makes it a long wait when I am traveling and want a 90+% charged battery instead of just 80%

                Looks like iPhone 16 and 16 Plus still charge slower

                  Anonymous, 10 Jul 2024Good strategy to panic users. Because iPhone users everyday... moreOther companies are confident in putting crazy fast e.g 100w and above charging because they have much more advanced battery and charging technologies that can handle such speeds.
                  for e.g,charging an iPhone at 20w speed does similar amount damage and generates similar amount of heat to the battery as charging an oppo/oneplus/vivo phone with 120w speed simply because the battery health engine in oneplus and other company's devices helps the battery to withstand such fast charging without drastically decreasing the battery health as doing the math might make you think
                  Meanwhile ,Apple,Samsung,Nothing,Google,sony,and others give consumers stupid excuses that the reason they don't use fast charging is because "faster charging is not good for long term battery health",but that is not necessarily true ,e.g
                  Despite the oneplus 12 having 100w charging support ,oneplus still claims 80% after 1600 charge cycles which is even less than what Apple claims for their own iPhone battery with slower charging .

                  THE SUMMARY OF ALL THIS MESSAGE IS THAT THE REASON WHY SOME COMPANIES DON'T OFFER FAST CHARGING IN THEIR PHONES IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CHOICE ,SINCE THEY LACK ADVANCED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES IN THEIR DEVICES ,NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE FAST CHARGING DEGRADES THE BATTERY

                  Long but informative/helpful content,hope you learnt a thing or 2!!!!

                    Good strategy to panic users. Because iPhone users everyday go to settings and look at battery health percentage. So fast charging will decrease health faster.

                      SShock, 10 Jul 2024Dude, it was literally tested by GSMArena, with Samsungs ow... moreYes, these 45W are a complete invention of Samsung. I watched a clip where they accurately measured the charge - with gauges and graphs - for a SMALL interval of time, the peak value was 37W ... 😂.
                      Full exposure for Samsung 🤷🏻‍♂️.

                        So when iphone offer fast charging that time battery heath will not be degraded

                          SShock, 10 Jul 2024Dude, it was literally tested by GSMArena, with Samsungs ow... moreit doesn't have to be 40% faster, because each company has their own charging "curvature" when it reaches 70-80% to 100%, it'll most likely take half as much to twice the time to get to 100% from there...

                          for example: 10min from 0 to 80% and another 10min from 80 to 95 and another 5min to 100%.

                          also, this website that is basically run fanboys from sammy and apple, have said that their 45w charger is basically charging their phones at the same rate as the 25w ones.

                            Hey, it's almost half as fast as most phones out there. And a third for the wireless charging. Always 6 years behind

                              What about the regular iPhone 16? 😒💁

                                [deleted post]Dude, it was literally tested by GSMArena, with Samsungs own original 45W charger and the difference was like in seconds. I've used SuperFast charger with 65W on my S23 Ultra and it charged basically identical time to my regular PD 2.0 fast charger with 25W rate. And the 30W Voltme GAN charger that I have, also supports Samsung's SuperFast charging, no difference.

                                I don't know what Samsung is selling or claiming, but it gives anything but meaningful results. 45W should be like 40% faster than 25W, yet it's not. Not even remotely.

                                  Unclear? I think it is pretty clear that 40W will charge notably faster. You'd love to see it.

                                    Tim Cook: This year, we'll be offering for the first time, 40 watt fast charging. The fastest ever charging speeds...in iPhone.

                                      Wow, Apple's finally catching up. I didn't think I'd live to see this day become a reality
