hello. This is Technologytodaynow. In this article, we’ll give you the latest news on iPhone 16 charging performance.
Increase iPhone 16 charging output.
The iPhone’s biggest drawbacks
One of the iPhone’s signature weaknesses is its charging output.
It has the lowest charging output and longest charging time compared to other smartphones of its generation.
Apple is improving the iPhone’s charging output
But lately, Apple has been ramping up its metallurgical charging output.
Although it supports 25W output in specifications from iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Plus, it actually supports up to 29w and 28w, but it was secretly increasing the charging output, and the news came out that the charging output is expected to increase significantly in this iPhone 16 Pro.
iPhone 16 with increased wired and wireless charging speeds
According to a report from Chinese IT outlet IT Home, Apple’s iPhone 16 series will feature increased speeds for wired and wireless charging. Current official specs indicate that the iPhone 15 will have a 50% charge in 30 minutes, the same as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13. Compared to Chinese-made smartphones that can charge in 10 minutes, that’s too slow.
iPhone 16 Battery Output Increases
However, the iPhone 16 series will still not be as fast as Chinese smartphones, but it is expected to significantly increase the power of wired and wireless charging. IT Home reports that Apple will increase the battery power of its upcoming iPhone 16 series by 48% to 40W. In addition, Maxsafe charging will increase by 33% to 20W. So not only is the time to 50% charge expected to be shorter, but also the time to full charge.
A task ahead
However, it’s also important to charge while maintaining high output. The Galaxy S24 Ultra,which has a 45-watt output ,can charge to 69% in 30 minutes, but it takes another 35 minutes to fully charge, for a total of 65 minutes.
How much charge you can get in 30 minutes is important, but so is how much you can reduce your charging time.
iPhone 16 estimated battery capacity
The estimated battery capacity of the iPhone 16 series is 3355 mAh, 3561 mAh, 4006 mAh, and 4676 mAh in the order of 16 base, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Promax, with the iPhone 16 Promax’s battery expected to last the longest,
The iPhone 16 Plus has less capacity than its predecessor.
Maxafe charging output expected to improve performance
Also, although the Maxsafe charging output has been increased by 20W, the Maxsafe charger often takes a long time to fully charge due to the heat generated by the Maxsafe charger, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable output. The official Maxsafe charger is thin and does not have a separate cooling solution, so it is recommended to purchase a third-party Maxsafe charger that supports 20W charging and has better heat dissipation. On a positive note, the Maxsafe is also expected to be Qi2-compliant soon, so if Android smartphones support Qi2, we can expect to see 20W magnetic charging.
