Forgot to plug it in last night! Needed to go to the gym today and only had 10%. Got up to 60% in 25 min! Bam music at the gym!
 
You’re not kidding! I have a 29 watt Apple charger and was amazed how fast it went from 20% to 83%. I didn’t time it but it was <30 minutes...and I was using the phone for part of the time it was charging.

I will say, not surprisingly, the backside did get pretty warm.
 
I think the spec is 0 to 50% in 30 minutes.

For a grand I’d have expected the necessary goods to come in box. But I’ll live.
 
What’s the cheapest wall plug and wire that I can get that’s Apple certified that fast charges?

Is it possible to get fast charging when plugged into a MacBook Pro 15"? Or does it have to be from a wall charger? Just don't want to buy an iPad charger haha

Any third party will work. I got one on amazon for $28. Just need to support PD

I have a iPad Pro USC charger. The fast type. Is this what you are talking about?


Yup

I’ve seen it cheaper from users on here but they didn’t say what it was. Also I need a smaller wall plug than that.

From what I’ve gathered so far is a 3rd party wall plug is okay but I’ll have to buy Apples fast charge cable? Do they sell this at AT&T store?

Yes you need Apple cable. $27 for 3’ or $37 for 6’
