(Image credit - Apple) Fast Charge Your iPhone 16 Fast charging our iPhone is a pre-requisite. No one wants to sit for hours to get a fully charged battery. However, you will be surprised to know how many iPhone users are not really utilising the fastest charging methods available. The easiest way to know if your charging method is the fastest possible or not is to observe when your iPhone is charging. If you notice that your iPhone is taking many hours to charge from 0 to 100 per cent, know that you might not be using fast-charging accessories. While slow charging might not be an issue to many users who prefer charging their iPhone overnight or are not in a hurry, it can be chaotic when you have to rush to work and your iPhone still shows a 48 per cent battery.

(Image credit - Apple) The iPhone 16 supports up to 27-watt charging through its USB-C port. Using a 30-watt charging brick, you can fully charge your iPhone 16 in about 2 hours. To fast charge, you'll need a USB-C cable and a compatible USB-C power brick (30-watt Mophie charger or the Apple 35-watt dual charger.) With these accessories, you can charge from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes and reach 100% in around 2 hours. A 20-watt charger works nearly as fast. In just about 15 minutes slower for a full charge. It is important to note that using a charger rated higher than 30 watts like the MacBook charger won’t increase the charging speed beyond the iPhone’s 27-watt limit. How to Fast Charge iPhone 16 Pros Wirelessly using MagSafe? A fast-charging MagSafe puck. (Image credit - Apple) The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro support wireless fast charging with the new generation MagSafe chargers. For this, you'll need a fast-charging MagSafe puck. Apple recommends pairing it with a 30-watt charger. However, a 30-watt charger of any reputed brand should work fine. These new MagSafe chargers can charge your iPhone at up to 25 watts. Compared to this, older MagSafe and Qi chargers were limited to 15 watts. Wireless fast charging can match wired charging for the first half (0% to 50%) but is slightly less efficient overall, especially as the phone heats up. You can charge from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes but expect about 2 more hours to reach 100%.
