It seems certain Apple will put an USB-C port on the iPhone 15. But will this also bring true fast charging? And if so, is it set to be a nightmare?
I’m trying to ignore all the chatter around the introduction of USB-C on the iPhone 15. The only way its arrival will have any impact on my life is if it provides faster charging, and while this is a much-needed feature, it may also be the beginning of confusion, disappointment, and further big bills around charging the iPhone at the highest speed.
Android shows us where it could go wrong But when I really think about it, do I really want such a feature? Yes, and no. To get full-speed charging with the OnePlus 11, you must use the OnePlus charging block and special USB cable, both of which come in the box with the phone. Apple stopped supplying free chargers a few years ago, but does include a USB-to-Lightning cable in the box at the moment. If you use a different charger with the OnePlus 11, it still charges, but at a much slower speed.
Confusing, time-consuming, and expensive It’s extremely unlikely Apple will supply a charging block with the iPhone 15. And if it does introduce fast charging through USB Type-C, you will certainly have to buy a new charger and cable to take advantage of it. While Apple will make it fairly easy to buy the right equipment, if the 140W charging block is anything to go by, it won’t be cheap.
