Fast charging for your iPhone: what you need

Fast charging is ideal when you have little time to charge your phone. It is available on iPhone 8 and later. Since October 2020, new iPhones come without a power adapter in the box. If you have a compatible model and don't have a fast charger, you can buy one in our online store.

Fast charging is a quick, convenient way to charge iPhone 8 or later. Your iPhone charges from 0 to about 50 percent in around 30 minutes with an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable (on iPhone 15 and later, Apple's USB-C cable).

For fast charging you need an Apple USB-C power adapter of 18W or more, such as the 18W USB-C adapter. Higher-wattage adapters work too, including the charger of a MacBook with USB-C.

If you are not sure which Apple power adapter you have, check its wattage on the bottom, as shown in the image.
