Yesterday leaked images of the USB-C port on the iPhone 15 series surfaced revealing support for Thunderbolt. The next-generation flagship offerings from Apple are widely anticipated to come with a USB-C port to comply with the EU norms. The Cupertino-based tech giant has been significantly lagging behind its Android rivals in adopting fast charging speeds for its iPhones. Now, this is expected to change if a report from 9to5Mac indeed turns out to be true. 

iPhone 15 series may get bumped up fast charging speeds

iPhone 15 series with USB-C Charging

The folks at 9to5Mac citing industry sources reveal that the iPhone 15 series will come with faster charging speeds up to 35W. This would be a much-needed welcome upgrade since the non-Pro models have painfully 20W wired charging speed whereas it maxes out at 27W on the Pro variants. The upgraded charging speed could reduce the charging time as it currently takes approx two hours to fully top up the iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

The publication adds that one thing remains unclear whether Apple will introduce 35W charging speed on all four iPhone 15 models or if it will only be limited to Pro variants. Considering Apple’s track record at distinguishing the non-Pro from Pro, the second option largely seems like a possibility. 

Previously, it was tipped that the Apple iPhone 15 series could feature stacked battery technology. This coupled with the rumored support for Thunderbolt may offer faster charging speeds for the upcoming flagships. Additionally, Apple also sells a 35W dual USB-C charger introduced last year as well as a 30W USB-C charger for the MacBook Air. Both support iPhones at the maximum speed. 

Earlier in March this year, noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had said that the iPhone 15 may support fast charging speeds via USB-C but only with certified cables.
