The best fast chargers for iPhone

Although iPhones offer rather satisfactory battery life, it remains mandatory to refuel daily. Are you looking for a fast charger that can best meet your needs? You are quite right ! Here is our selection of the best fast chargers on the market.

Fast charging: what are the advantages

As we saw in our article on iPhone chargers, fast charging allows you to reach 50% battery in 30 minutes. This can be a lifesaver, especially in an emergency if you need to charge your iPhone and get maximum battery life as quickly as possible. Another point to take into account, standard chargers all simply tend to disappear and getting a model compatible with fast charging doesn’t really cost more.

Prerequisites for fast charging

If you want to take advantage of fast charging, you will need a compatible iPhoneeither from the iPhone 8, as well asa USB-C power adapter of at least 20W, as well as a cable capable of passing the power. Modern iPhones can accept up to 27W as you can see in our graph below.

Single or multiple ports for your iPhone charger?

Before checking out, you will need to know whether you want the most compact model possible, and therefore often equipped with a single port, or a model with more ports, allowing you to charge several devices simultaneously. If you only have one device, models with a port will be interesting due to their low price and their extremely compact format.

Our selection of fast chargers

You will find below our selection of iPhone charger models with single and multiple ports:

Anker Nano

With its Nano range, Anker takes advantage of gallium nitride (GaN), offering an alternative solution to traditional silicon used in chargers, with transistors releasing less heat, making it possible to bring the internal components closer together and offer a more compact charger without sacrificing power. In use, Anker models do not heat up any more than Apple chargers, and will therefore allow you to benefit from fast charging while saving a little space on the move, all while allowing you to recharge a MacBook Air or Pro with a single charger for the most powerful models.

Ugreen Nexode

Ugreen also relies on gallium nitride (GaN) to offer the most compact chargers possible. The manufacturer also offers several patented technologies to intelligently adjust the power delivered to protect the battery of charging devices against overheating.

Anker Prime and Ugreen Nexode Pro

With the Anker Prime and Ugreen Nexode Pro, we move on to models with multiple ports. If they are a little larger, they will allow you to refuel several devices simultaneously, while maintaining fast charging for iPhones, and even for certain Macs.

You will need to consult the product sheet to find out what is the port distribution and choose the model that best suits your equipment and your use. The Nexode RG stands out by bringing a little fun with its robot shape.

Which cable for my charger?

If your charger does not come with a cable, you will have to opt for a model capable of passing the power. Please note, USB-C to Lightning or USB-C cables are often charging cables, and will use USB 2.0 for data transfer. If you want to treat yourself a cable capable of passing enough power and allowing you to take advantage of the 10 Gb/s of the USB-C port of the iPhone 15 Pro, you will need a suitable model, like those below. A little more expensive but even more versatile since offering speeds reaching 40 Gb/s, Thunderbolt 4 cables from Cable Matters could also be considered.
