iPhone 11 Pro Anybody here not used the 18w charger yet?

That's amazing! That phone is getting some good usage. Absolutely amazing though - draining an XS Max / 11 Pro Max 2x a day. Heh.

My wife works at a university and she get quite a few notifications too - but her phone usually lasts her a day. Me? I'm lucky if my phone goes below 90% after a heavy day. lol.

Yeah that’s a lot of battery usage. Mondays I get roughly 7-8 hours of screen time. Tuesday to Friday around 5-6 hours. Saturday to Sunday 2-5 hours. Off charger at 6:20 am. Around 8-9 pm my battery still at 40% or so.

I understand. Im like you too. I have over 1000+ customers. I handle tons of orders daily via email and texts. What’s your daily average screen time?

Between charges? Like 4-6 SOT, I will admit it’s been great today but I’ve only been browsing Tapatalk,twitch and normal apps. Haven’t touched my job’s app so that could be the culprit. Rn I’m at 4hrs SOT /92%.

That’s still good though, excluding sat/Sunday
 
I haven't used it at all since I charge my phone wirelessly over night, but it might be good for travel.
 
Still in the box. I have a couple of 12 watt iPad chargers from my last phone lying around. The new charger is probably faster, but not by much.
 
I used it when I set the phone up and the phone got scary hot compared to what I’m used to.

Using wireless overnight and haven’t needed anything else. But I’m about to be shooting 4K video for a job so it will probably come in handy to top off at some point during a shoot.

I’m still anxious about charging over night 😅. Does that effect our battery health what do you think? Because I’m doing exactly what you do.
 
Been using an 18W or 7.5W wireless charger overnight since I got my X in 2017 and my battery life has always been fine after a year of owning the X and Xs, and I'm sure it will be after owning the Pro as well.

The new "optimized battery charging" in iOS 13 is on by default. I really wouldn't worry about charging overnight.

Mine is still in the box. It’s a welcome addition, but I have several 29w/30w chargers that I bought last year. I’ll keep using those when I really need some juice, and the 5w everywhere else.
 
I have been charging with (1) 5W adapter, (2) 12W adapter or (3) my MBP. The too-big-but-no-folding-pins 18W stayed in the box.
 
Don’t plan on using it because I already have a 61 W charger that I’ve been using since the X.
 
I never touched the accessories for my XS Max, and I may do the same with my Pro Max. Like many people here, Lightning and wireless chargers are ubiquitous at home and work, and the battery life improvements make breaking out the additional chargers unnecessary. I may do it at some point out of curiosity, though.
 
Funny, mine is still in the box too. I bought a dual wireless charger, so my wife and I can both charge at the same time.
 
I used to charge my iPhone X overnight on a 'fast' charger (10W, wired) but now I just charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max in the morning when I'm in the shower/getting ready to leave the house. I use a USB-C PD charger from Anker, because it also powers my Apple Watch charger, etc.
 
I haven’t used it yet either. Just been using the 2- 4 input charger I’ve been using the past year and a few wireless pads I have around the house.
 
Never took it out of the box. Already have chargers everywhere and with the extra battery life, haven’t had to charge during the day, unlike my XS Max.
 
I have a anker multi-port hub that comes with 4 usb-A ports and 1 USB-C port. I use that to charge my iphone, ipad, AirPods, Apple Watch and Apple TV remote. As such, the stock chargers are still lying untouched in their original packaging.
 
I remember all the comments saying "Apple is too cheap to put a fast-charger in the box..."

Then when Apple finally does... here's a bunch of people who never even bothered to take it out of the box!

It's refreshing, really... :p
