How to charge your iPhone much more quickly
You are in the middle of a conversation, and suddenly, your phone dies! While you can charge your phone, you might have to cancel if you plan to go anywhere. Fully charging your phone is not always a quick feat. Tap or click for a list of apps that could be causing your phone’s battery to drain.
But what if you could charge your phone quicker? Well, thankfully, Apple has a few options to help you juice up your phone in record time.
If you are in a rush and need your phone, there’s a solution. Here’s how to charge your iPhone much more quickly.
Newer iPhone models
Older iPhones didn’t exactly help in the fast-charging department. But when iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max were released in 2019, the box included an 18W fast charger.

Up until this point, iPhones came with a 5W charging cable with a very slow wall adapter. Sadly, Apple stopped providing wall adapters when you purchased new iPhones in 2020. But you can still get fast chargers on your own.
Using a fast charger
What charger you use really does matter, and using a true fast charger can juice your phone up to 50% faster than other cables and wall outlets. That’s a lot of time saved when charging your phone.
The thing is, not every iPhone is compatible with fast chargers. The following phones can be used with fast charging cables:
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone X
- iPhone XR
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2020 and newer)
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 13 Pro

True or false: Charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than paying for gas
Like them or not, electric vehicles are gaining in popularity. Car manufacturers produce more electric versions of existing models and create new ones built from the ground up to run on batteries. Expect to see more EVs on the road with each passing year.
