Apple reportedly plans to support higher-performance power supplies for the iPhone 13 to speed up charging. Instead of the current maximum of 20 watts, more should be possible with the next Apple smartphone.
For a long time now, Apple’s iPhone has also supported charging with power packs beyond the 5 watt mark. Even if these slow charging adapters were included in the standard scope for many years, the smartphone from Cupertino could already be charged much faster – provided a corresponding power supply unit.
With the iPhone 12 , for example, a classic Lightning cable can be charged with up to 20 watts. As the Chinese side Mydrivers now reports, Apple is planning a further increase in the next iPhone .
IPHONE 13 IS SAID TO ENABLE FASTER CHARGING
According to the report, the next iPhone models should receive a small increase to up to 25 watts. In line with this, the company from California is allegedly planning to introduce a corresponding power supply unit. As with the iPhone 12, this should not be included in the delivery of the iPhone 13 either, but only be available separately.
Compared to the current charging with up to 20 watts, the times for a full charge should only improve slightly. Users of various Android devices should only smile at these numbers. Some of the smartphones from other manufacturers have been charging significantly faster for a long time.
In addition to supporting accelerated charging, the new Apple phones will also have larger batteries. Apple could thus counteract the losses due to the expected 120 Hertz displays in the iPhone 13. According to current rumors, these should also offer an always-on mode , which allows important information to be displayed on the lock screen.
This year we expect the launch of the new iPhone again in September. Four models – analogous to the iPhone 12 – are to be presented again. Various dummy models have shown how the design will change over the past few months .
