How to charge your iPhone as quickly as possible

One of the most controversial topics when talking about iPhone is related to charging and battery life. Even with a former Apple employee offering life-saving iPhone battery tips, you can always do more.

Said that, BGR has put together a complete guide to help you charge your iPhone as quickly as possible without degrading the battery too quickly. The process is simpler than you might think, but there are some tips and tricks to make the most of it.

How to charge your iPhone quickly without ruining the battery

The latest iPhones charge at a maximum of 20W, so you don't need to use a 96W Mac plug or any fancy GaN charger that can provide enough power for your car, iPad, Mac, and phone simultaneously. For example, Apple's own 20W charger solution is perfect for this.

More recently, BGR published a test on the lifespan of several different USB cables, with Apple's USB to Lightning being more durable than those from Belkin, Anker and Samsung, meaning you don't need to overthink it, winning with Apple already guarantees you can hit the fastest possible charge on your device.

That said, that doesn't mean you can't use Samsung's charger with a Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable. Of course you can, but you don't need to worry so much if you already have Apple accessories.

Now that you know that Apple's 20W charger and its USB-C to USB-C cable are fully capable of charging your iPhone 15 at full speed, there are other tips and tricks to ensure you get the fastest charge possible.

Now that you have the correct plug and cable, you can do a little more to ensure your device charges as quickly as possible. Follow these tips:

• Activate low power mode: Since the iPhone consumes power even while charging, putting background activity on hold, ProMotion, and other technologies will help improve charging speeds;
• Close your applications: Without any apps open, they will no longer demand power from your iPhone;
• Check the right temperature: If it's too hot or too cold, your iPhone may not charge properly. That said, never place your iPhone in the sun while charging or avoid freezing temperatures as well.
• Do not use your phone while charging: It may be difficult, but try doing another activity while charging your phone. Go read a book, walk in the park or watch TV.
• Turn on Airplane Mode and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: If you want to quickly charge your iPhone, turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth while turning on Airplane Mode will help charge your iPhone as quickly as possible.

Wrap up

With these tips and tricks, it will be easier to charge your iPhone as quickly as possible. Also, don't forget that your phone will charge 50% in 30 minutes, but to get full power, you may also need to follow these little tricks.
