iPhone 15 tipped for Apple's fastest charging yet

We know that the iPhone 15 range is moving from Lightning connectors to USB-C, and we've seen multiple reports suggesting that that move means that the Pro models will also be getting super-fast data transfer speeds. But USB-C can also deliver faster charging, and it looks like at least some iPhone 15 models will benefit from that. That's good news for anyone who finds themselves in a hurry to charge an iPhone that doesn't seem to share your urgency.

According to 9to5Mac's industry sources, "at least some" of the iPhone 15 models will be able to charge at speeds of up to 35W. That's a significant improvement over the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, for which Apple offers up to 30W charging, although it's still a long way behind the ridiculously fast 300W HyperCharge that Xiaomi unveiled a few months ago. But it's good news for you and for Apple too: faster charging is handy, and from Apple's point of view it's another sales opportunity to sell you an expensive charger – because of course iPhones don't come with chargers in the box any more.
