Charging your\u00a0iPhone<\/span>\u00a0isn’t always as simple as plugging it into a power source, especially when you’re in a rush and need your phone to charge as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

You need to take into account where your phone is being plugged in, what settings are enabled (or disabled) on your phone, and what kind of charger you’re using. If not, you might end up with an iPhone that’s barely charged and will probably die when you need it most.<\/p>\n

In the guide below, we’ll show you nine tips and tricks that can help you charge your iPhone as quickly as possible for when you’re in a hurry. Here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

If you’re on the go and need to charge your iPhone, check out Apple’s MagSafe portable battery pack for the iPhone<\/span> and this list of the best power banks in 2022<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Stop using your old charger<\/h2>\n

The quickest way to charge your iPhone is with a fast charger: a 20-watt power adapter<\/a><\/span> with a USB-C to Lightning cable<\/a><\/span>. As long as you own an iPhone 8<\/span> or later, you can fast-charge your phone from dead back up to around 50% battery in about 30 minutes. If you have an hour to spare, you can fully charge it. Even just 10 minutes of fast charging can boost your battery by double digits, so if you’re short on time, always go for the fast charger option.<\/p>\n

Apple no longer provides power adapters when you buy a new phone, only the cable, but you can purchase Apple’s 20-watt power adapter from Apple<\/a><\/span> and Amazon<\/a>. According to Apple, you can also use other compatible fast-charging power bricks<\/a>, but you’ll need at least a 20-watt brick to fast-charge an iPhone 12 and later.<\/p>\n

A wireless charger can work — this model is the best<\/h2>\n

The second-fastest way to charge your iPhone is with Apple’s MagSafe charger<\/a><\/span> and a 20-watt power adapter, but for this to work you must own either an iPhone 12 or an iPhone 13 to get the faster 15-watt wireless charging. If your iPhone is dead, you should get to around 30% battery in about 30 minutes of wireless charging.<\/p>\n

However, this doesn’t mean you can use any Qi wireless charger, which is the industry standard, for fast charging. While the MagSafe charger supports 15 watts, a Qi charger only gives you up to 7.5 watts — which is much slower than a MagSafe, and only slightly faster than the traditional 5-watt wall charger<\/a><\/span>. Be aware that magnetic wireless chargers that aren’t MagSafe-certified will also charge at the slower 7.5-watt speed.<\/p>\n

The MagSafe charger can be fast, but only in certain scenarios.<\/p>\n

Stop using your computer to charge your phone. Please?<\/h2>\n

Your laptop might seem like a convenient way to charge your iPhone, especially if you spend most of your day in front of a computer and want to keep a close eye on any incoming text messages and notifications. Unfortunately, your computer will always charge your phone slower than any wall charger or wireless charger.<\/p>\n

Your computer’s USB port, whether it’s a bigger and older USB-A or the newer, smaller USB-C, cannot deliver the same amount of power as any wall outlet can — even a 5-watt power adapter. And that’s especially true if you have an older computer with a faulty USB port or an incompatible charging cable, both of which can slow down the charging process further.<\/p>\n

Using a MacBook might seem like an easy way to charge your iPhone, but it’s slower than any wall charger.<\/p>\n

Hands off your iPhone when it’s charging<\/h2>\n

If you want your iPhone to charge as quickly as possible, try to stay off of it as much as possible. If you’re streaming videos or playing mobile games while charging your iPhone, the battery will charge much slower, so just leave it untouched if you can.<\/p>\n

One easy way to speed up your battery charge<\/h2>\n

Even if your screen is sleeping, your phone is still working in the background, constantly refreshing applications, sending out notifications and turning your screen on — all of which wastes battery. If you want your iPhone to charge quicker, the best thing to do is to turn it off.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to turn it off, do this instead<\/h2>\n

If you don’t want to turn off your iPhone, but still want to help it charge faster, you can turn on airplane mode, which disables all wireless transmission functions like cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — all of which consume power. If they’re off, your iPhone can charge quicker. And this way, you can also quickly turn airplane mode off to quickly check on any text message or phone calls you might be waiting on.<\/p>\n

Airplane mode will stop notifications from coming in, but will preserve battery while you’re charging your iPhone.<\/p>\n
