This is how long it takes for the iPhone 14 Pro to charge depending on the charger used, it is not a very fast charge.
The battery life of the iPhone has been proving to be one of the best on the market for years, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have a battery much higher than that of their most direct rivals, but it is not all good news. The Apple iPhone fails in terms of fast chargingtaking a long time to fully charge your battery.
Apple does not really indicate the power of the fast charge of its iPhone, it simply ensures that their iPhone charges half the battery in 30 minutes, except the Max models that will take 35 minutes. It is not the best fast charge on the market, far from it, and also Apple does not indicate how long it will take to fully charge the iPhone.
Up to 50% charge in 30 minutes with a 20W or higher adapter.
How long does the iPhone 14 Pro take to fully charge
For that reason, since iClarified have made a complete battery charge test to the iPhone 14 Pro to find out how long it takes to fully charge your battery depending on the charger you use. Remember that the iPhone 14 Pro has a 3,200 mAh battery.
In total they have tested six different chargers: the original AC adapter from 5W and more powerful options like chargers 12W, 20W, 30W, 140W, plus MagSafe wireless charger and measured the time the iPhone takes to charge. Although the data is from the iPhone 14 Pro, it will be similar on the regular iPhone 14.
- 5W power adapter: 03:28:38
- 12W power adapter: 01:57:00
- MagSafe charger with 20W adapter: 02:03:40
- 20W power adapter: 01:39:37
- 30W power adapter: 01:37:47
- 140W power adapter: 01:37:27
As you can see, the maximum charging power seems to be close to 20W, with the more powerful 30 and 140W chargers we hardly noticed any improvements in overall charging speed. Therefore, charging the entire battery of the iPhone 14 Pro takes almost 1 hour and 40 minutes if you use a fast adapter.
Namely, it takes 30 minutes to charge the first 50% of the battery and one hour and 10 minutes to charge the remaining 50%. This is normal, as the speed slows down as it charges to prevent damage to the battery’s health. You can see the full video of iClarified next:
The truth is that they are pretty bad data if we compare it with the competition. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra takes just an hour to fully charge, and that “only” charges with a power of 45W, there are other smartphones that charge much faster. Of course it is a point to improve on Apple’s part, we will see if it is achieved with the iPhone 15 and its jump to USB-C.
