ChargerLAB performed extensive testing of the latest iPhone’s charging capabilities.
Specifically, the tests used an iPhone 16 Pro Max and measured charging power across a massive list of first-party and third-party charging accessories.
The results?
The iPhone 16 Pro Max charged 20% faster or more than last year’s 15 Pro Max.
With the standard 20W charging brick that used to come in the box with new iPhones, there was understandably no difference. Both models charged at about 18W.
But when you have a charging brick capable of higher wattage output, the difference is very clear.
