Oppo Unveils Record-Breaking Fast Charging Technology That's 12x Faster Than iPhone 13

It is? I don't really follow the lifespan of android phone batteries vs iPhones. But I dont believe there is any magic and somewhere the piper is being paid.
Yeah Apple is gravely behind here.
Yet notice how chunky that case was on that Oppo and how the hand model did NOT touch the phone after it was fully charged?!
- wonder how hot that phone got. If one has to wait 20 mins to pick it up after charge and cooling whats the point?
Charging to 100% in 9 minutes is quite impressive. It is a bit faster than charging Apple Pencil to 100%.
I charge my 13 Pro Max overnight on a wireless charger.
There is also the option of Apple MagSafe battery pack. It can also function as a wireless charger.

Battery life goes way down, and device heat level goes way up! So if you want to kill your battery in record time while burning your house down in the process...

100% agree! Especially when “Optimized Battery Charging" kicks in.
Pure satisfaction ✔️👌🏻⚡️
Is that because Apple didn’t make this or do you have actual evidence to back up your claim? Gonna assume you’re just pulling this out of your ass.
Not to sound like a fanboy... But why so fast charging???
I've always just charged overnight.
And, I assume this will kill the battery life?

I'm in the same boat with you on this, but this could be a nice option during very long travel days when you're away from outlets for a long time. I hope to see the technology perfected!
Since 2007:
5W -> 10W -> 12W -> 18W -> 22W -> 27W (13 Pro Max)
Same wattage for years you say.
Same here.. I use the basic smallest usb-c charger from apple to charge my MacBook air also.. Slower the better, for cars, phones or laptops..
I think a sweet point between charging time and battery lifespan is important. I know some phone users are on the go all time and need an extra quick power AQAP but this is not a race. Keeping the battery in good health is important too.
The use case for this isn’t at home, but somewhere like a bar, restaurant, bus or whatever where you want to quickly jolt back to full charge.
Much like with EVs you charge slow at home and super fast on the road.
And because you won’t do it all the time every day your battery shouldn’t depreciate too much.

The appeal is being able to have a smaller battery. Reducing the battery size will save costs, reduce weight, improve the environmental impact, reduce weight, etc. No need for an all-day battery if you can top it off in just a few minutes.
I'm rarely far away from a charger for more than a few hours, the issue is that I don't want to have my phone plugged in for an hour or two at a time.
If Apples point of not including an adapter is for environmental reasons, I don’t think they should increase fast charging and wattage every new iPhone. They probably wait for a good middle ground of battery life and charging speed. And focusing on software to keep the battery from draining at all. Because yeah this charges fast, but how quickly does 5G and display brightness and refresh rates drain its battery?
Good point. New cutting edge technology is cool, but if it can’t be produced at scale (to the tune of 150 million units a year), then it’s not a fit for the iPhone line.
Agree, they actually took this from EV charging… EVs top out at 80% in 30 min or less due to heat… but that’s okBruh ...

Yeah, this is an Intel solution. “We need a huge battery because our system isn’t very efficient, sooooo, let’s pour on the power to make it charge faster.” The more impressive solution in my eyes would be all day good performance from the phone on a 500 mAh capacity battery.
