Apple has officially confirmed that iPhone X and iPhone 8 are fast rechargeable, but things are not as simple as what we see in the Android world.
After a long wait, Apple finally equipped its new generation of iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus with wireless charging capabilities. However, that is not the only upgrade on the charging capacity of this smartphone trio.
Although not addressed directly by Apple during the presentation, it was only a small note in the feature summary, but the company has confirmed that the new iPhone will support fast charging. It is known that the machine will be able to charge 50% of the battery within 30 minutes.
That is good news, but now is sad news: The charger that comes with the iPhone box will not support fast charging. Apple has said it has adopted a USB-C adapter with 29W, 61W or 87W output for fast charging. This is the adapter for MacBook laptops, MacBook Pro 13 inch and MacBook Pro 15 inch. With that, users also need to buy a USB-C to Lightning cable to connect the iPhone to the charger (a cable that comes with a traditional USB-A cable).
The problem with owning these adapters and cables is the price. With the cheapest price for a 29W adapter is $ 49, plus a 1m USB-C to Lightning cable is $ 25, users will have to spend at least $ 74 if you want to quickly charge the iPhone mine. Meanwhile, most other smartphone manufacturers are offering fast charger when selling products.
When it comes to the cost of accessories for wireless charging, it can be seen that taking full advantage of the charging capabilities of the iPhone X and the iPhone 8 is not a simple matter for a person's pocketbook. right. In the future, however, it is unlikely that there will be third party accessories makers offering cheaper alternatives.
