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

I'd guess at normal full brightness doing things, you'd be discharging your battery since 30W is too little to keep up.

I never run at full brightness, but browsing the web and using terminal, it's still charging.

And there are plenty of chargers for your Air already, right? What would the 40W/60W give you that you don't already have?

The advantage is that the new 40-60W charger is tiny.

I’d love to have a 40-60W charger in the same form factor as my Apple UK 20W charger! (Sadly there is no UK version, yet)

And I'm still charging my 13 Mini with a 5W brick..

I just charge it in the night. If I need more battery in the day, I just charge it like 30 minutes on my Laptop via USB-C port.

Many people do run at full brightness and don't sit at a terminal prompt all day while browsing the web on a $1700 laptop.

Honestly they only need to test with a 100W USB-PD charger (practical max for most USB-PD devices), record the maximum wattage drawn and just make conclusions about the maximum charger to get.

Testing with that many chargers is redundant.

Full brightness would blow out my eyes!

I'm still using the MagSafe Duo Charger pairs with the 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter.

Never mind charging speed, how are iPhones still crippled with USB2 in 2025?!

Very good to see faster charging speeds on the base model. Might get the new 40w charger from Apple if it is released in my country.

You should try the VIVID app...it allows the screen to go to even higher brightness levels than normal! It's how I keep my face tanned...

I still use the itty bitty 5W cube for my 7 year old phone

I use the itty bitty 5w Power Adapter for my 16 Plus.

Long live slow charging!
