I'll be getting pro Max next month and Idont upgrade atleast for four years so big issue i noticed was battery degrades significantly probably since three years so should I use 20w or 30w charger with my phone? As a youtuber test showed only 10 minutes difference in charging time if I use 30 watt charger.

Thank you!!

30 w is fine it can change up to 27w please always keep optimised charging on it will manage the intake wattage it won’t always pull 27w

Mine is 20w and I have a 14 Pro. Charges it in 40min or so.

Full charge in 40 mins? Hope you are not joking, every video I saw said it charges full in 2 hr 11min with 30 w charger. I'm talking about 15pro Max.

I use apples 20 watt brick on my past 4 iPhones. It’s 0-80 in about 40-50 minutes or so then the last 20% trickles for about an hour to hour and a half till 100%.

By PD charger you mean usual 20w charger we get in apple store right?

[–] dajack60585@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

PD = USB-C Power Delivery. The 20 watt one in the Apple Store is PD but there are many with the same technology so even let’s say Anker or Spigen USB-C PD charging brick works.

I have a 20w charger and a regular 14… takes close to an hour for a full charge

Don’t worry about the wattage of the charger. If you are going to use wireless charging do make sure to use the real MagSafe charger as those are designed to be a lot more efficient with heat and faster than traditional wireless chargers. You can use the 80% charging when you can to increase your battery longevity.
