That is incorrect. My iPad Pro M1 charges at 37.5 W. Your figures are completely underrated.

iPhone 17 Pro Max's USB-C Charging Speeds Tested With Apple Chargers

No. It's all in the USB-C PD specifications.
I believe it's one of two currently available chargers that implements USB PD 3.2 AVS, though Apple's charger does not support PPS.
It looks like some third party chargers advertise the peak power but don't mention that they reduce maximum power after hitting some thermal limit, so this seems to be more honest since the sustainable power is in the name of the product. (ChargerLab's load test of Apple's adapters showed that it could sustain the 60W for about 20 minutes before getting throttled, and it can go back up to 60W again after it cools off.)
Trying to understand the MagSafe testing. Which MagSafe version did they test? The 15W version or the 25W version? What charing brick did they use with the MagSafe? The rest of the testing was straightforward but this section wasn't for me at least...
I am also not happy with this 'dynamic'. Why can't they just say it's USB-PD 3.2? Then at least you could ask Siri.
And not only that, EVERYONE’s 60W at this size thermally throttles. The biggest difference is that, unlike others, Apple’s not calling it a 60W charger.
I was referring to the standard iPad Pro. The M1 can charge somewhere in the 30-35 watt range.
That's what it says in the guide, I pretty much only charge overnight so not really paying attention to this
Using an Anker Charger 140W, I got 42 watt (that's what the anker displays) with an iphone 17 pro max
That’ll teach me for replying without carefully reading 😀.
42W into the phone or out of the wall?
Big difference
I simply use a iPad Pro 20watt brick to change my 17 pro max. Sweet spot I think in daily/overnight charging. Trying out the 80% limit as well
You can't charge your MacBook at 60W. It's "dynamic" and only for very short bursts. What a joke this thing is.
For what? 2 seconds at 60W before it throttles? The MacBook comes with a proper charger already and Amazon is full of tiny GaN chargers for $10 that will charge your MacBook slower if you want.
It's a shame that Apple forces you to buy that one and you cannot purchase those alternative products.
Oh wait, you can purchase those alternative products
Not my cup of tea either but I'm sure there are some people who would find it useful.
These charging speeds are absolutely laughable, especially if you look at the competition. What is even worse is that the fastest charging speeds the iPhone can reach are only sustained for a very short period of time. In best cases up until 50% then everything goes downhill and the charging speed becomes pathetic. The new cooling system in the new iPhones barely improved the charging situation.
But I do worry about what those higher charging speeds will do to the usable life of the battery on many Android phones. Especially that super fast charging on the OnePlus phones.
