iPhone Charging Times

[psionicsin]

I'm failing to understand this as it really doesn't make sense...

iPhone 6+ plugged into wall outlet takes FOREVER to charge. After 1hr, I'm around 30%.

iPhone 6+ charged into Macbook Pro, 100% in 1.5hrs.

How does this make any sense? What kind of voodoo sorcery is going on here?

I mean I'm pretty sure the wall outlet has way more juice than a USB port.

(Charge is stock charge from Apple iPhone 6+ box)

It all depends on the source. Yes, wall outlet has a ton of juice - but the little brick between the wall plug and your phone dictates what gets to the phone. The iPhone brick is a 1amp power plug that ships with the 6 and 6+. Your phone is more than able to charge at rates higher than 1 amp per hour.

Your USB port on your Mac will charge much faster than 1a per hour.

I use an iPad charger (10w and 12w) to charge my iPhone 6+. It will charge at 2.1a - a ton faster than the included old iphone brick.

You can't hurt your phone by charging it faster - the phone will ONLY draw what it wants - so you could plug it into a 10amp charger and it will only draw a max of 2.1amps.
