Before the Apple iPhone 13 series smartphones were launched, it was reported that this time, the technology giant will be adding support for faster charging. While the company has not advertised this, a test conducted by ChargerLAB reveals that the iPhone 13 Pro Max is capable of charging at up to 27W speed.
As per the test, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, when charged with a 30W or higher USB-C power adopter, can be charged at up to 27W speed. For comparison, the last year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max has a top charging speed of 21W to 22W.
However, it’s noteworthy that the iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t sustain peak 27W power for the entire charging cycle due to heat considerations but the interesting part is that the device is able to get charged at a slightly faster rate than its predecessor.
The charging test was conducted on the Pro Max model only so we are not sure if the iPhone 13 Pro also supports up to 27W charging. Whatever be the case, it practically doesn’t make any significant difference.
Apple is no longer offering a charger in the retail box when a customer purchases the new iPhone but the company is selling a 30W USB-C power adapter at a price of $49 for anyone who doesn’t have an existing USB-C charger.
The 27W charging speed for the latest iPhone series is still no match when compared to the 65W fast charging support offered by several Android smartphone manufacturers. Some companies are also offering 120W charging and the 200W charging, which has already been unveiled by a couple of brands, is set to debut commercially next year.
