While Apple’s official specs for the iPhone 16 series only mention 50% charging in 30 minutes with a 20W adapter, behind the scenes, the new models are capable of much more.
According to Chinese certifications, the iPhone 16 lineup supports charging speeds up to 45W. This significant boost over the previous generation could mean faster charging times, especially when using higher-powered PD-compatible chargers.
It remains to be seen if this faster charging capability will translate to noticeable improvements in real-world charging scenarios. However, it’s clear that Apple has equipped the iPhone 16 series with the potential for more rapid charging.
