Apple - the first steps towards fast charging of iPhone and iPad

Un fast charging system in iPhone or iPad it has been requested by users for years, but until now the Apple company considered that it is not really that necessary, although it has technology that would allow its implementation at any time.

A first step towards offering such technology is made with the iPad Pro, the tablet being capable of supports charging with a 29W charger, now used in the case of the 12-inch MacBook, the Apple company offering users 12W chargers for the tablet.

Among the lists with the technical specifications of the tablet it is mentioned that it it can be charged using 29W chargers via USB 3.0, standard that the tablet has, but which is not supported by any Lightning cable currently on the market.

If such a cable were released, then the iPad Pro could be charged faster and thanks to the use of a chip Fresco Logic FL1100 in the tablet, offering not only high USB 3 speeds, but also the possibility of transmitting more energy to the product's battery.

Buried within the hardware regulatory information for the iPad Pro, it's revealed that the 12.9-inch tablet can use 14.5 volts at 2 amps, which is equivalent to 29 watts. The untapped faster charging capabilities hidden within the iPad Pro are thanks to the inclusion of a Fresco Logic FL1100 USB host controller.

Unfortunately, Apple does not plan to certify any Lightning cables that support USB 3.0 and probably won't do it anytime soon, but I'm sure we'll see some products from various Chinese companies, although they won't be safe .

Since Apple has implemented in the iPad Pro a USB controller capable of charging the tablet faster and offering higher speeds for data transfer, then it is clear that it has prototypes of iDevices that charge faster than the current ones, but no one he does not know when he will release them.
