Would have been interesting to throw in the old Apple 12W charger, just to see if it strikes a better balance between speed and heat. Personally, I use the 5W to charge while I’m sleeping, and a 20W for mid day top ups.
12w is my personal fav. maintained battery health really well amd charged quite fast too.. my btry health dropped frm 100 to 89 within a year on my iphone 11 using 12w and 100 to 88 on my iphone 12 within 4 months using 20W. i suspect its the heat that deteriorates the battery health.
12 pro for 9 months 100% battery health. i charge it max to 90-95% and never let it go below 20-30% which is enough for full day, never let it sit on charger at 100% and never drain the battery completely
Do an Always on Display battery test again. This time wait for apples software update that fixes bugs. Also put a white screen wallpaper on both, and leave them under a bright light for 24 hrs and then show us the results. This is the worst case scenario but i've been contemplating turning my AOD off.

Just turn AOD off or leave it on and turn on low power mode. I do this with my 14Pro and have been doing it with my 7 before that (the 7 has an 89% battery life after a year, and charging with a 12W brick sometimes I used a 5W)
I tested to leave it on all night and battery is still 99%. The AOD is the best update Apple did in years to the usefulness of a phone while laying around.
The iPhone 14 Pro only charged at a maximum of 17w when I tested it. The phone may be able to take 27w in, but it peaked at 17w and sat at 16w from 20-70. It charged between 1 and 5w after 80%.

I switch between my 5w and 30w chargers for my 14 Pro Max. When im at home, i usually use the 5w just so i don't constantly heat up my phone. But having a 20 or a 30 helps a lot when you are travelling especially when you're doing quick stopovers. You get a lot of charge in just 20 or 30mins.
If u using 30w add on peltier cooling fan on u phone, can help cooling u phone while charging, my phone have 120w charging, 1st day charge my phone so hot, i think around 45c ~ 47c, next day i buy peltier cooling and test again, and get 29c~30c, i hope can help u with my little experience
The thing I like about the 20w usb-c one as it is so light when traveling. When on the plane especially plugging in. The 30w is just too heavy and typically falls out of the plug.
Hi! Thank you for the test! I have about 10 original Apple 5W chargers and I use them to charge everything, including my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I upgrade my phone every year and by using just 5W charger each phone I use ends up with 99-100% battery capacity after a YEAR of use. I also do apply all other battery health preserving tips when possible, but not to the extreme.
@@JohnnyBg2905 Yes. I have 13 Pro Max now and it is really easy to keep it in 30-70% battery charge range since it consumes about 30-40 per day. Also not overheating the phone, not charging it while it's cold.

As you can see at around 40 minutes, the three fast chargers have charged up to about 70%, most of the capacity. Obviously, you should expect for the charging rate to significantly decrease afterwards, otherwise the battery would be damaged. To 100% is not a good metric to assess charging speed, as optimally you would stop it charging at around 80%.

I have an idea to test, because you can see almost no difference in 20/30/35w charging. And phones are hot which is normal. But when they are hot they slow down charging speed. My idea is to put them in the fridge to keep them cold and see if there will be bigger difference or to check if they don't actually drop charging speed even when they hot ( like in this test)
What many people don’t consider is that every phone’s battery has a different amount of capacity, even if it is the same model.

@@rosswaylon4 because the phone itself makes the charging slower. When you are above 80% it is nearing the battery’s full capacity, after that mark it is much healthier for the battery to charge slowly
I believe my experience will help someone else. I bought my Iphone 13 just a couple of weeks after release. And I bought the 20W charger as well. But the huge downside was seeing my battery health drop right in front of my eyes. Now I’m on 89%. So please only use the 5W docks. Do not go with the fast chargers. It’ll kill your battery really quick. After switching back to the 5W it’s been like a month and my battery health percentage is still on 89%. So do not buy fast chargers even if apple gives it for free.
Nah, fast charging is fine because most phones have the capability to adjust the charging rate inorder to prevent stress and heat which can minimize the degradation of the battery. This is the reason why most phones charge really fast in the beginning and slow down after a certain threshold to reduce heat and stress. So it's fine to use a fast charger to charge your phone.
@@bigmaxcc it’s still kind of pricey. Let’s say you buy a phone for $1k and then you use it and then replace the battery. You then sell it for 500. Actually 400 because that was an expense you spent on it. Or do better we it’s it and save cash than needlessly spending money just because especially if you do so every year. If you are waiting to get to 80% before replacing then then that’s be 2-3 years on careless use and by then it’s not worth it when you probably gonna upgrade anyway. Plus no one else gonna want it that low unless it’s much cheaper then others or the unsuspecting
the cool thing is that the phone can be charge to 50% in less than 30 min . i think it's the most important thing, Apple is always slowing down the charging speed after 80% .. it would have been interesting to have a magsafe in comparison, i will make on of the 14 pro max i got dead to measure the time it took to reach 100% ... the AOD on the 14 PRO max consumes less than my 13 pro max by a large margin , it's quite remarquable , but it's when the phone are idle in a darker room but with AoD turned on ... Little edit : i thought the 14 PM where capped at 27 Watts max like the 13 PM , but actually they can charge at 29 Watts. with the right PD charger. let's just hope Apple push it to 33 Watts via software update cos they could do it..
Every smartphone company slows down ur wattage after u reach 80% to protect ur battery's life Its not just apple And its a good thing they do that bc no one wants their battery health at 80% before even a year of use
For me AS medical student who’s do not use his phone that much I will go with the 5w since it keep my phone cool and for better battery longevity. I just keep my iPhone charging on my disk for long time even if I want to use it while it’s charging I can because it doesn’t heat at all.
Interesting. When I use my phone while it’s charging it burns up, and I read on a Reddit comment that one of the worst things to do is use the phone while it’s charging and it’s best to charge it, unplug it, let it cool for a couple minutes, and then proceed to use. It’s probably fine if yours doesn’t heat up like mine does when I do that.
@@user-sf9gs2pg1b I think the main concern for why you should not use it while it’s charging is the heat that generates form charging. However, If you use low power charger such as 5w it will not heat at all I mean in the regular usage not in games or something that will heat the phone anyway.
Battery decay usually starts around 95° so atleast they’re staying sum what cool. I use 12 watt when not in a rush n 20w anker nano when I need quick charge on my 13 PM
Would be nice if you could control the amount of wattage going into your device. Sometimes I need a quick charge but other times I’m not so much in a rush and rather protect my battery from so much heat exposure.
That interesting to check the discharge after that.. .. is it possible to get longer battery life during the day, after using 5 watt charger? just curious ))
Tbh, the 5w is the one I’d stick with. I also have a fast charger when I need juice asap but if I’m at home and just not needing the phone anymore, I will happily slow charge my phone. I’ve never had my battery drop below 90 percent health after two years of regular usage. Also wireless charging kills battery, the heat it generated kills the battery over it lifetime.
I would agree to this statement, however I would like to point out that I’ve switched to only wireless charging for the majority, and my iPhone 12pro max (2 years old) is at 90% capacity.. and I charge it to 100% all the time. Just thought it was interesting to have the same results. Still a strong believer in slower, cooler charging.
My 12 pro max was thrashed on the standard fast charger & MagSafe, fair to say my Apple silicon case was also badly damaged and thrashed frm the heat of MagSafe Charging, gave my MagSafe to my sista with the 12 pro max wen I got my 14 pro
Would be nice to have also used a 10W and 15W. Currently use a 20 Watt with a custom shortcut notification when it passes above 80% as I didn't want to charge with greater heat, but 15W might be the way to go
No matter what charger you use, the wattage going to the phone will decrease dramatically at 80% automatically for the express purpose of reducing heat and increasing the longevity of your battery, so I don't think you are doing yourself any favors by micromanaging your charging. Not much point in only ever using 80% of your battery if your whole goal is to have as much battery life as possible...
@@matthewzaloudek that’s true! Fast charging 20w only happens up to 80%. After that it slow charges till it reaches 100%. This is why I just use 20w charger. I have 91% battery health on my iPhone 13 after a year and 3 months
@@Hxcker471 lol yes it is. The average % of battery health you lose is 1-2% every month and considering that I’ve had my phone for 15 months and only losing 9 % is good especially that I’m using a fast charger
@@hustlawg Bro no it isn’t, many people out here have 98% after a year or a bit below, you using a fast charger is literally what makes the battery health drop faster. And Idk if you charge it till 100% or use it until the phone dies that’s another thing that kills the battery faster.
As a representative over the Apple Store told me: the 35 W charger is divided, as the MagSafe Duo charger: you will only get half of that charge in each port, so it’s only natural that it goes 30 W, 20 W, 35 split in 2: that’s 17.5 W and finally 5 W.
Something I wonder is if any difference between the 30W and the 35W could purely be variances in the battery capacities of each phone? It's impossible to get every single battery to the same capacity, so any battery can be slightly over the rated capacity by just a bit, and may be the reason why it takes a minute or two longer to register a full charge? Also, about your comment at the end regarding the power strip, plugging phones in will never cause an issue with a power strip, you had maybe 100W as best going through that power strip, while anything like that should be capable of handling the full 1500W+ that a wall outlet can provide. As long as the Wattage of the devices you're plugging in doesn't go anywhere near 1500W, there's no issue whatsoever.
If i recall correctly, that excess capacity can be quite prominent at 5% (105% of standard rated capacity). The percent numbers were there in Iphone's logs.
The slower you charge your phone the better off the battery, all these tech people saying "fast charging is okay, it doesn't hurt your battery" But it causes the phone to get hotter and heat is the enemy for li-ion batteries.
Very interesting. I’m thinking of going14 Pro soon and have been wondering if I should move up from the 20W adapter but I’m seeing there isn’t a huge difference here. I’ll stick with the 20W! Thanks for the video!
1:01 i bought a lightening cable 2 years ago and it still holds up...the area around the lighening connector is unproctected....the white tubing broke of exposing the wires but stil works
I’m curious about how long it would take to charge with a Computer USB port that’s about 2.5 watts I think. Phone would probably stay ice cold. Although I bet it would take forever to charge
slightly difference between 20w 30w 35w, is it because of the cable??? USB-C to Lightning Cable supports 9V to deliver 18W which is the max power capability
For the longevity of the phone's health, would you recommend using the 5W instead? If the 5W prolongs the longevity of the battery's health from the heat reduction during charging I'd rather just charge it overnight as I normally would and avoid the higher watt speeds. Would love to know your thoughts or anyone elses! Peace and Love!
Yes charging at 5w is better for battery health. You will get many more charge cycles using only the 5w charger but it depends on how long you plan to keep your phone as even fast charging it will easily last a couple years. But if you plan on using the same phone for 5+ years and still have a 80% battery health then 5w is best
@@michaeldhondt368 Really appreciate the answer I was wondering if that would be the case. I'll do my best to use 5W mostly as I do want my new 14 to last at least 4-7 years with good health.
Optimized charging enabled with the 20w is the best charger IMO. During your work week it charges your phone slow over night so you don’t loose battery health, but on the weekends or the middle of the day if you need a quick tip up it’ll allow more power to flow to get ya more charge faster. 5W is great an all but thanks to software you can get the safety with 20w while also having the ability to fast charge when needed.
I own both 5w and 20w charger. I use the 5w like 95% of the time. I use the 20W only during emergency. Additionally if you don't like to charge your phone over a certain limit and you forget to disconnect the charger, your phone most probably won't charge that much by the time you realise it 🥰
I just use the 5w every night when I sleep. Never gets warm and it's ready in the morning. Never really need a top up during the day even with TikTok going full swing, but if I am traveling, I leave it plugged in while driving just so it stays full, especially when using CarPlay. I notice battery health takes much more of a hit when using fast chargers, and unless you really need it, I wouldn't use them all the time.
Was thinking of getting a higher Watt charger but after seeing how much heat they generate on your phone, I think I'll just stick with the 5W charging while sleeping. That was very helpful info, thanks for the Vid.
Hi, please advice which adopter is best for IPhone 14 Pro? Which may not harm the mobile’s battery life and keeps the mobile safe. I am about to order my new iPhone and adopter and will wait till you reply. Thankyou
I personally use the 12 watts had with older ipads it is the perfect combination faster than 5 watt without heating up the phone to an astonishing level I also have a 10 feet cable with it. But when I travel I use 20 watt and a smaller cable
Well structured video. Very informative. Thanks for posting this. I'm doing a little homework since my daughter just got an iPhone 14. I think my OnePlus 7 pro charged 10x over in the amount of time the iPhones did once though. lol. =)
First off - great video! I loved the fact you showed people the temperature aswell, as it is also a factor. I've seen it often the slower adapter are keeping the iPhones at the coolest. I couldn't believe it takes so long on the 5W since I charge my 14 Pro only with 5W and it's the average 1% per minute or two. And why should Apple focus on faster charging?? They want to keep your battery at the longest life possible and not death! If you want it fully charged in 15 mins, see it dying in one year.
Since I normally leave my phone to charge overnight, I might stick to the 5W power supply.. But at the same time, it also makes me think if that may become a fire hazard..
I think it'll be okay as long as you're using a trustworthy power supply. The phone current will be limited as it detects that the power supply can't deliver high currents.
Thank you for your video and your work on this. I really enjoyed watching you run the charge test and the comprehensive coverage, scenarios and commentary!
Only thing missing here is probably a clamp on power/current meter to see if the power ratings on the chargers are legit and to track how the battery management adjusts the power input over time
🤔 That's interesting. I'm not saying what is good or bad. Just thinking that my Huawei p30 pro charges fully in 35 - 40 mins. Battery going strong, last long. Performance of the phone is as new and it's 3 and half years old. So, I'm just thinking thay huawei may have that figured it out better when it comes to battery and charging. However, iPhone is pretty smooth phone though. But, I'd say p60 pro will be dominating the market with 15 pro max and s23 ultra plus.
Hello is so crazy that iphone does not include all the charging kit, can I charge my iphone 14 with with 30 w with no damage to the baterie ? Thanks 👍😊
damn, wish the 12w charger was in this test, given that the 20w+ chargers are mostly the same. It seems like the 12w charger is the best balance of speed and heat control to save battery health for overnight charging.
What charger brick do you use for every day apple use?? I’m getting 14 pro and wanna know which brick to buy?? Currently using iPhone 11 with no brick just usb to my wall outlet and to phone. Slow ass charge lol Whats the highest wattage brick can iPhone 14 pro support? But which one do you use daily as I gotta buy one
You do not get the 30-35W power adapter in the box with an iPad, you get the 20w version. This was the charger that I received with my iPad Pro 12.9" when I bought it ~3 weeks ago.
nice, but they all heat up while charging, which ruins the battery. However, if you use a Chargie device this won't happen - it both limits, delays full charging and reduces overnight power consumption for an optimal charging process. Our iPhone 13 Pro is 1yo and still has its battery at 100%.
Also to point out, 2:31 when you put all iPhones at max brightness the 35 watt iPhone wasn’t actually at max brightness. Sorry to be that guy but yeah… that could be a factor in the results for it being first (even tho it was close most of the way) 🤔
5w is the best charger to use at night

@@Zachman1124 thats why your battery life sucks on iphone
the cool thing is that the phone can be charge to 50% in less than 30 min . i think it's the most important thing, Apple is always slowing down the charging speed after 80% .. it would have been interesting to have a magsafe in comparison, i will make on of the 14 pro max i got dead to measure the time it took to reach 100% ... the AOD on the 14 PRO max consumes less than my 13 pro max by a large margin , it's quite remarquable , but it's when the phone are idle in a darker room but with AoD turned on ...
Little edit : i thought the 14 PM where capped at 27 Watts max like the 13 PM , but actually they can charge at 29 Watts. with the right PD charger. let's just hope Apple push it to 33 Watts via software update cos they could do it..
Every smartphone company slows down ur wattage after u reach 80% to protect ur battery's life
Its not just apple
And its a good thing they do that bc no one wants their battery health at 80% before even a year of use
For me AS medical student who’s do not use his phone that much I will go with the 5w since it keep my phone cool and for better battery longevity. I just keep my iPhone charging on my disk for long time even if I want to use it while it’s charging I can because it doesn’t heat at all.
Interesting. When I use my phone while it’s charging it burns up, and I read on a Reddit comment that one of the worst things to do is use the phone while it’s charging and it’s best to charge it, unplug it, let it cool for a couple minutes, and then proceed to use. It’s probably fine if yours doesn’t heat up like mine does when I do that.
@@user-sf9gs2pg1b this is very true
@@user-sf9gs2pg1b I think the main concern for why you should not use it while it’s charging is the heat that generates form charging. However, If you use low power charger such as 5w it will not heat at all I mean in the regular usage not in games or something that will heat the phone anyway.
Battery decay usually starts around 95° so atleast they’re staying sum what cool. I use 12 watt when not in a rush n 20w anker nano when I need quick charge on my 13 PM
Would be nice if you could control the amount of wattage going into your device. Sometimes I need a quick charge but other times I’m not so much in a rush and rather protect my battery from so much heat exposure.
@Ты клоун you can do this on every android :)
I use it every day especially in summer where I limit the maximum heat the phone takes
40°max
I have a iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Apple 20W adapter
That interesting to check the discharge after that..
.. is it possible to get longer battery life during the day, after using 5 watt charger? just curious ))
Love to see the wallpapers fade in and out of always on mode. Sooooo smooth.
Nice test! I would love to see it tested and compared to the MagSafe charger.
This 👍🏼
I'm now using an Anker Nano 30 watt charger with my new 14 Pro Max but with a 6ft cable so it's slightly slower than expected but still solid.
How long does it take you for a full charge?
Why slower than expected?
@@starparticles6250 because the length of the cable.
Tbh, the 5w is the one I’d stick with. I also have a fast charger when I need juice asap but if I’m at home and just not needing the phone anymore, I will happily slow charge my phone. I’ve never had my battery drop below 90 percent health after two years of regular usage. Also wireless charging kills battery, the heat it generated kills the battery over it lifetime.
I would agree to this statement, however I would like to point out that I’ve switched to only wireless charging for the majority, and my iPhone 12pro max (2 years old) is at 90% capacity.. and I charge it to 100% all the time. Just thought it was interesting to have the same results. Still a strong believer in slower, cooler charging.
My 12 pro max was thrashed on the standard fast charger & MagSafe, fair to say my Apple silicon case was also badly damaged and thrashed frm the heat of MagSafe Charging, gave my MagSafe to my sista with the 12 pro max wen I got my 14 pro
U charge to the 100% or just 80-90%
@@Lil_tylenol iphone 14 pro max is just a copycat of Nothing Phone 1🎉
My 12 still had 90-91% capacity after 2 years of using nothing but the 20w charger
Would be nice to have also used a 10W and 15W. Currently use a 20 Watt with a custom shortcut notification when it passes above 80% as I didn't want to charge with greater heat, but 15W might be the way to go
No matter what charger you use, the wattage going to the phone will decrease dramatically at 80% automatically for the express purpose of reducing heat and increasing the longevity of your battery, so I don't think you are doing yourself any favors by micromanaging your charging. Not much point in only ever using 80% of your battery if your whole goal is to have as much battery life as possible...
@@matthewzaloudek that’s true! Fast charging 20w only happens up to 80%. After that it slow charges till it reaches 100%. This is why I just use 20w charger. I have 91% battery health on my iPhone 13 after a year and 3 months
@@hustlawgafter a year and so, 91% isn’t great…
@@Hxcker471 lol yes it is. The average % of battery health you lose is 1-2% every month and considering that I’ve had my phone for 15 months and only losing 9 % is good especially that I’m using a fast charger
@@hustlawg Bro no it isn’t, many people out here have 98% after a year or a bit below, you using a fast charger is literally what makes the battery health drop faster. And Idk if you charge it till 100% or use it until the phone dies that’s another thing that kills the battery faster.
Yes I’d love to see more always on content, especially the battery drain difference between it on and off.
I got you John
Very interesting Video!!! 🤔
I love the way you produced this. Kept my attention to the very end...
Salute! I appreciated
I find that when charging my phone that it goes faster when directly charged lugged into the outlet vs plugged into the power strip.
As a representative over the Apple Store told me: the 35 W charger is divided, as the MagSafe Duo charger: you will only get half of that charge in each port, so it’s only natural that it goes 30 W, 20 W, 35 split in 2: that’s 17.5 W and finally 5 W.
Something I wonder is if any difference between the 30W and the 35W could purely be variances in the battery capacities of each phone? It's impossible to get every single battery to the same capacity, so any battery can be slightly over the rated capacity by just a bit, and may be the reason why it takes a minute or two longer to register a full charge?
Also, about your comment at the end regarding the power strip, plugging phones in will never cause an issue with a power strip, you had maybe 100W as best going through that power strip, while anything like that should be capable of handling the full 1500W+ that a wall outlet can provide. As long as the Wattage of the devices you're plugging in doesn't go anywhere near 1500W, there's no issue whatsoever.
If i recall correctly, that excess capacity can be quite prominent at 5% (105% of standard rated capacity). The percent numbers were there in Iphone's logs.
That was going to my comment. All but the 5W are basically the same result.
fake 35w 😂 rela 20w😂 naive and dumb customers 😂
Wel klasse voor de uitsupporters die met toch best grote groep zijn gekomen en er een mooie sfeer van maakten
Could you do the 14 pro max charge test? Curious the results of that compared to the 14 pro
its same phone dumbo with new name apple sucks
The slower you charge your phone the better off the battery, all these tech people saying "fast charging is okay, it doesn't hurt your battery"
But it causes the phone to get hotter and heat is the enemy for li-ion batteries.
I feel a faster charging speed on my regular 14 compared to the 13, using the 20W charger. Can you please check ?
0:10 bruh the noise you made in the b-roll clip coming out of my right ear only scared the shit out of me lmao
Great video….bring back these type of videos I would love to see you charge up with a iPad charger
Can you make a video of the battery drainage when charged with these chargers?
Thanks for these hanging videos with different wattage, definitely is interesting to see how those Ws affects the charging speeds
When the 20W finished charging, the 5W had ~55%.
100 / 55 = ~1.8
5W x 1.8 = 9W
So the charging limit of the iPhone 14 is 9Watts 😄
bro is a math teacher
@@thridvit-6132 math saves u money
Great video! The thermal camera was a very nice touch.
Your video quality only gets better and better! Great video!
Very interesting. I’m thinking of going14 Pro soon and have been wondering if I should move up from the 20W adapter but I’m seeing there isn’t a huge difference here. I’ll stick with the 20W! Thanks for the video!
The 14pro supports 20w max for fast charging so there is no point in going with anything higher than that.
why racist?
14 Pro "Max" support 27W. Yes your 20W is fine
1:01 i bought a lightening cable 2 years ago and it still holds up...the area around the lighening connector is unproctected....the white tubing broke of exposing the wires but stil works
I’m curious about how long it would take to charge with a Computer USB port that’s about 2.5 watts I think. Phone would probably stay ice cold. Although I bet it would take forever to charge
slightly difference between 20w 30w 35w, is it because of the cable??? USB-C to Lightning Cable supports 9V to deliver 18W which is the max power capability
That 5W charger cable is odd one out 😂
I got the iPhone 14 and charging it on 5 w and it’s slow
6 hours 😔
Thanks for the content man. Just an fyi, it's neck and neck, not neck on neck.
For the longevity of the phone's health, would you recommend using the 5W instead? If the 5W prolongs the longevity of the battery's health from the heat reduction during charging I'd rather just charge it overnight as I normally would and avoid the higher watt speeds. Would love to know your thoughts or anyone elses!
Peace and Love!
Yes charging at 5w is better for battery health. You will get many more charge cycles using only the 5w charger but it depends on how long you plan to keep your phone as even fast charging it will easily last a couple years. But if you plan on using the same phone for 5+ years and still have a 80% battery health then 5w is best
@@michaeldhondt368 Really appreciate the answer I was wondering if that would be the case. I'll do my best to use 5W mostly as I do want my new 14 to last at least 4-7 years with good health.
Optimized charging enabled with the 20w is the best charger IMO.
During your work week it charges your phone slow over night so you don’t loose battery health, but on the weekends or the middle of the day if you need a quick tip up it’ll allow more power to flow to get ya more charge faster.
5W is great an all but thanks to software you can get the safety with 20w while also having the ability to fast charge when needed.
Very interesting results! Yes, I’d love to see more charging comparisons. Thank you!
Good video. Please do some similar charging test, but all with wireless chargers.
I own both 5w and 20w charger. I use the 5w like 95% of the time. I use the 20W only during emergency. Additionally if you don't like to charge your phone over a certain limit and you forget to disconnect the charger, your phone most probably won't charge that much by the time you realise it 🥰
I just use the 5w every night when I sleep. Never gets warm and it's ready in the morning. Never really need a top up during the day even with TikTok going full swing, but if I am traveling, I leave it plugged in while driving just so it stays full, especially when using CarPlay. I notice battery health takes much more of a hit when using fast chargers, and unless you really need it, I wouldn't use them all the time.
Was thinking of getting a higher Watt charger but after seeing how much heat they generate on your phone, I think I'll just stick with the 5W charging while sleeping. That was very helpful info, thanks for the Vid.
Hi, please advice which adopter is best for IPhone 14 Pro? Which may not harm the mobile’s battery life and keeps the mobile safe.
I am about to order my new iPhone and adopter and will wait till you reply.
Thankyou
I personally use the 12 watts had with older ipads it is the perfect combination faster than 5 watt without heating up the phone to an astonishing level I also have a 10 feet cable with it. But when I travel I use 20 watt and a smaller cable
So which one will u recommend for iPhone 14pm,5 or 12 watts?
Good to see the boy is striving and succeeding , don’t forget about us when you famous lol
Well structured video. Very informative. Thanks for posting this. I'm doing a little homework since my daughter just got an iPhone 14. I think my OnePlus 7 pro charged 10x over in the amount of time the iPhones did once though. lol. =)
Amazing phone look amazing! I have 13 mini , I don’t know if I need to do trade in? What do you think?
First off - great video! I loved the fact you showed people the temperature aswell, as it is also a factor. I've seen it often the slower adapter are keeping the iPhones at the coolest. I couldn't believe it takes so long on the 5W since I charge my 14 Pro only with 5W and it's the average 1% per minute or two.
And why should Apple focus on faster charging?? They want to keep your battery at the longest life possible and not death! If you want it fully charged in 15 mins, see it dying in one year.
Since I normally leave my phone to charge overnight, I might stick to the 5W power supply..
But at the same time, it also makes me think if that may become a fire hazard..
I think it'll be okay as long as you're using a trustworthy power supply. The phone current will be limited as it detects that the power supply can't deliver high currents.
Thank you for your video and your work on this. I really enjoyed watching you run the charge test and the comprehensive coverage, scenarios and commentary!
this camera shows well the mid-black.....youknow imsayin?
I’m shocked you didn’t throw in the 18W charger from the 11 Pros!
Probably cause it isn’t as common as the 5W or the purchasable 20W one

Only thing missing here is probably a clamp on power/current meter to see if the power ratings on the chargers are legit and to track how the battery management adjusts the power input over time
Please do a charge test with the iPad 12 watt. That’s what I currently use. I have the 20 watt also.

great test, maybe also do a magsafe and non magsafe (fast) wireless test next time!
🤔 That's interesting. I'm not saying what is good or bad. Just thinking that my Huawei p30 pro charges fully in 35 - 40 mins. Battery going strong, last long. Performance of the phone is as new and it's 3 and half years old. So, I'm just thinking thay huawei may have that figured it out better when it comes to battery and charging. However, iPhone is pretty smooth phone though. But, I'd say p60 pro will be dominating the market with 15 pro max and s23 ultra plus.
Can you try how fast the battery will drain? Seems interesting and important for a student like me ✌️
Hello is so crazy that iphone does not include all the charging kit, can I charge my iphone 14 with with 30 w with no damage to the baterie ? Thanks 👍😊
damn, wish the 12w charger was in this test, given that the 20w+ chargers are mostly the same. It seems like the 12w charger is the best balance of speed and heat control to save battery health for overnight charging.
imo the best charger is the 12w charger. Its way faster than the 5w but the iPhone is not getting hot.
What charger brick do you use for every day apple use?? I’m getting 14 pro and wanna know which brick to buy??
Currently using iPhone 11 with no brick just usb to my wall outlet and to phone. Slow ass charge lol
Whats the highest wattage brick can iPhone 14 pro support?
But which one do you use daily as I gotta buy one
Wait so I don’t really need a 30 watt? 💭🤷🏻♂️ the 20 watt and 30watt or toe to toe…weird
I used to have 5w charge until I bought the 45w charger it useful for fast charging
Just bought my first apple phone that only came with a cable. This video was very helpful, thank you.
you should bring in different brand chargers to, like anker, mophie, and so forth
You do not get the 30-35W power adapter in the box with an iPad, you get the 20w version. This was the charger that I received with my iPad Pro 12.9" when I bought it ~3 weeks ago.
nice, but they all heat up while charging, which ruins the battery. However, if you use a Chargie device this won't happen - it both limits, delays full charging and reduces overnight power consumption for an optimal charging process. Our iPhone 13 Pro is 1yo and still has its battery at 100%.
Can you please make a same video on discharging the type of charger
can you do one comparing the magsafe chargers with the the lightning chargers with iphone 14 pro. Thanks
Wattage isn’t everything. What are the USB-C PD specs on the 30 watt charger? That charger could be older and not support fast charging.
Also to point out, 2:31 when you put all iPhones at max brightness the 35 watt iPhone wasn’t actually at max brightness. Sorry to be that guy but yeah… that could be a factor in the results for it being first (even tho it was close most of the way) 🤔
This test is great and thanks for also measuring temperatures!!
