iPhone 11 Pro fast charging tested: it makes a HUGE difference!

In the past few years, Apple has been the only company to ship its expensive flagship phones without a fast charger in the box. Stubbornly, the Cupertino-based company equipped iPhones with ever growing batteries with the same measly 5-watt charger that it had used for years and that took more than 3 hours to fully recharge an iPhone’s battery.
More than 50% in just half an hour!
It’s an 18-watt wall adapter with a USB-C connection on one end and Apple’s Lightning port on the other end connecting to the iPhone. And yes, it’s slightly bigger than before too. So how fast is it charging?
We measured charging times on the iPhone 11 Pro and this charger is a game-changer for Apple. It gives you more than 50% charge in just half an hour! Here are the results of our charging test:
- in 15 minutes: 28% charge
- 30 minutes: 55%
- 45 minutes: 74%
- 1 hour: 85%
- 1 hour and 15 minutes: 94%
- 1 hour and 30 minutes: 98%
- 1 hour and 42 minutes: FULL Charge
Notice that as on most phones, the last few percentage points were the slowest to charge and you have to wait for nearly 10 minutes for the last percent to charge up.
And below you will find how charging times on the iPhone 11 Pro compare to other iPhones as well as a few popular Android rivals:
