The iPhone 8 Plus charges in just 2 hours using the iPad charger, and the 29W USB-C charger charges it in almost 2 hours, the time dropping by another 10 minutes when using the 61W and 87W chargers. Practically, beyond the 29W charger, charging the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X will not be much faster, the difference being completely negligible for regular users.
