How to Charge Your iPhone Faster?
One of the things we’ve to do on a regular basis is charge our iPhones, which can be quite a time-consuming process.
Please note* "It has become a daily ritual to charge our devices overnight. But there are times when we end up forgetting to do it, only to realize that we’ve limited amount of time to charge our device before we head out. Here are some tips that will come in handy in such situations."
A USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 port is capable of delivering up to 0.5A. MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs after 2012 come with USB 3.0 ports, which are capable of delivering 0.9A. However, your iPhone comes with a charger capable of delivering 1A, so you’re better off plugging your iPhone into the dedicated charger rather than connecting it to a USB port.
However, note that there is an exception, the USB-C port in the new 12-inch Retina MacBook, supports up to 3A.
I’ve been doing this every since Apple started shipping a more powerful charger with the iPad and haven’t faced any issue. The iPhone just draws as much power as it can handle from the charger.
The iPhone 6 Plus can be charged fully in approximately 2 hours 30 mins using an iPad charger, whereas it can take more than 3 hours 45 mins using the charger that ships with the iPhone
For the best results, it is advisable to use the Lightning to USB cable and charger that comes with the iPhone or use an Apple-certified ones. The wrong cable or chargers can slow down charging speed. Fake chargers deliver only half the power in some cases. This means that fake chargers would take twice as much time to fully recharge your iPhone.
That’s all. Let’s hope that the next generation iPhones and iPads come with feature like “Quick Charge” or similar technology that allow us to charge our iPhones a lot quicker.
