Believe it or not, the iPhone 16 is just around the corner. As summer passes and September arrives, Apple will be heading to its first keynote of the season to present the new iPhone 16 and perhaps the next generation of all Apple Watch models. Although for the smart watch, Apple may decide to wait until October. While we wait for the iPhone 16, rumors are coming in and a few days ago there were new developments in fast charging. Apparently, The iPhone 16 will increase its fast battery charging capacity with support for power outputs of up to 40W, a clear boost over the iPhone 15.

More powerful fast charging is coming to the iPhone 16

Apple makes use of USB-PD technology to provide fast charging to iPhone. This technology allows the battery to be charged more efficiently and quickly as long as appropriate accessories are used. When we connect the cable to the iPhone, the device and the charger transmit information and decide what amount of energy is optimal to not damage the battery through this type of charge. Once the voltage and amperage for fast charging are defined, the battery is charged, according to Apple, achieving 50% battery in approximately 30 minutes.

The iPhone 15 allows fast charging of 50% in approximately 30 minutes with chargers with power of 20W or higher. However, although chargers of more than 20W can be used, Apple assures that there are no additional improvements that could be useful for the user.

A new report published by ITHomethe iPhone 16 It could charge faster than any previous iPhone allowing this new device consume up to 40W of power. This would mean being able to reach 50% of the battery in half the time than with the iPhone 15, that is, in 15 minutes. A big change that will allow users to have more charge in less time, although it is really only useful when the battery is completely depleted.

We’ll see if Apple finally takes the step with the boost of these improvements to the fast charging of the iPhone 16 or if it simply remains just a rumor.
