iPhone X iPhone X charging slow?

[jayjay14]

I’ve been using the 12w Apple iPad charger and my phone charges quite fast. In 30 minutes, the phone will probably charge about 35/40% maybe even more. A full charge from 0% to 100% takes less than 2 and half hours.

Stuck on 78% for the past 30 mins. Let’s see if there’s any patterns.

Updated to 11.1
Restored from 11.1 backup
Using fast charger (anker)
Rebooted phone

Same issue.

Its the anker, that is not an Apple charger, so it only charges 5W instead of 29W.
I use a 12W overnight and it works perfect.
At the office I can use a 12 or 29W and the 29W is much faster.
But the first two days it was aweful. It almost didn’t charge, horrible battery life. Then it got better. I guess indexing around 160.000 files in iCloud and all in all around 120Gb of files just took a lot of time.

I don't think it's a sacrifice. I think Samsung actually does the right thing often by customers. I'm sorry, Apple is just doing this for more money.

You can bet Samsung is not "giving" us anything. They just decided to make the fast charger standard and the cost is in with the cost of the phone.

Apple gave us a charger that charges your phone overnight, most people do. They could have included with the phone for another $50. For those who charge overnight, they are not getting stuck with the extra cost.

I've been charging mine on an Anker 8 port "smart charger" we've had for some time, it supports up to 2.4a, and I'm 0-100% in about 1.5 hours (I think like 75-80% in about an hour, then the rate slows a bit).

Next time I do a total deplete, I'll get a more accurate time. Great Anker product, basically handles all our devices at home or on the road (multiple phones, iPad and 2 Apple Watches).

Still having this problem. Charging with an Apple USB-C to Lightning connector and my MacBook Pro. Gets stuck around 83%. Coconut battery shows "Discharging with 0 watts" - enabling low power mode and such seems to help -- I think its temperature related in attempt to save wear on the battery. Literally sits for 45 minutes stuck at 83 percent - never had this issue on previous iPhones

Yes it’s slow, but are you guys still restoring from backup? I thought that may be the issue

No, I started fresh on my iPhone X and can confirm my perception is the device feels like it changes at only ⅔ the rate of my old iPhone 6. Not sure how this translates in real terms. With the music output being shared with the power it certainly requires some forward planning in some situations 🙁

Not sure if it’s been posted yet but has anyone else noticed a really slow charge on their iPhone X? Figured it might be my anker cable but then I switched to the Apple cable and it’s no better.

[doublepost=1514429529][/doublepost]I agree! I used to have the iPhone 6s and the new iPhone X takes much longer to charge!

My iPhone X is 2 months old and it takes hours to charge!!!

Yup. It does. The battery is also bigger and the power consumption is much higher when you fire up that big display and really fast processor.

Certainly if you use a 5W charger (the small blocks) but even if you use a 12W charger it's not that fast.
Now if you invest some €85 then you'll get a USB-C charger and a USB-c --> lighting cable. Then you can charge really fast.
