iPhone X it was passed through an extremely interesting test that aims to tell us what kind of charging is faster to bring more energy to the battery in the shortest period of time. Considering that the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and Apple's iPhone 8 Plus are the first Apple phones that have both fast charging and wireless charging, it was normal to see a test of this kind to show us what they can offer.
The iPhone X has the same fast and wireless charging technologies as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, so everything you see in the test below also applies to the two American models. Briefly presenting the situation, fast charging via USB-C brings the largest amount of energy to the iPhone X battery in the shortest period of time, and from 18W upwards, charging is done in much the same way.
The following accessories were used for the tests:
- The standard 5W Apple charger for iPhone;
- Standard USB Lightning cable;
- Belkin Boost UP wireless charger;
- Apple 12W charger for iPad;
- Choetech 18W USB-C charger;
- The 29W Apple USB-C charger;
- Anker USB-C 30W charger;
- The Apple USB-C 87W charger.
However, there are very big differences between charging with the 5W charger delivered in the iPhone X box and the 12W charger for iPad tablets, but that was perfectly normal. There are small differences between charging with the standard 5W charger and wireless charging at 5W, or 7.5W, but again we are talking about something normal, but the important thing is that wirelessly you can charge an iPhone X faster, if everything is done at 7.5W and not at 5W.
The iPhone X and the other new models of Apple phones have fast charging systems, but to enjoy them you will have to spend some money because Apple does not offer the accessories for free. To be able to quickly charge iPhone X, or iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, you will have to spend almost 100 euros to buy accessories, so it would be good to have this money ready, or give up on the idea of fast charging.
