Apple's latest iPhone 18 Pro models boast significantly faster USB-C charging compared to their predecessors, according to a video shared by YouTube channel Xiaobai's Tech Reviews. The new iPhone 18 Pro Max can charge from 0% to 100% battery life in just 55 minutes with a compatible charger, whereas the older iPhone 17 Pro Max required an hour and a quarter for the same task.
This equates to a 26-minute reduction in charging time, with the iPhone 18 Pro Max maintaining power even after reaching full charge. Impressively, the iPhone 18 Pro Max can also reach 50% battery life in just 15 minutes, compared to 20 minutes for the iPhone 17 Pro models. An early test revealed a peak charging speed of 52W for the first 12 minutes of charging, up from 36W on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple advises using a charger with 60W or higher and Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS) for optimal charging speeds. A compatible option is Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max, priced at $39. The video in question is in Chinese.
