Battery anxiety should be a thing of the past
) to travel to a different town and having the battery die with your ticket onboard in the middle of the night, because it couldn't quite reach full charge before you left. That would be more than a little discomfiting, and it's a situation fast-charging eliminates because you’re only ever perhaps 30 or even 20 minutes away from a full charge and five minutes from a half charge.
It makes some sense if you think about it. The reason given for the omission of chargers is that you probably already have one or two lying around your home. At the same time, trading in or selling old phones often necessitates buying new phone chargers. Increased charging speeds means that the old charger that was perfectly adequate for your iPhone 11 becomes woefully inadequate when plugged into an iPhone 14.
Apple is adopting USB-C this year, though it has yet to adopt the same fast charging as Android brands. While they may be lagging behind less-celebrated brands when it comes to charging speeds, Apple, Samsung, and Google remain the companies that dominate the smartphone marketplace. Though they offer fast charging, their relative top speeds feel positively pedestrian in comparison to the support wattage you can get from the aforementioned Chinese brands.
Unfortunately, in the majority of consumers' eyes, phones from the likes of Apple, Google and Samsung offer a more complete package overall, even if they charge at less than half the speed of numerous competitors. As such, until these brands embrace significantly faster charging, it'll remain a benefit exclusive to those brave enough to shop amidst other brands.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.
