There is no battery related defect in the new iPhones. It is only because they have larger batteries, they take longer time to charge. Here are some handy tips to carry out fast charging on iPhone XS, XS Max and XR smartphones.

One should be aware of the fact that the charger that comes in the retail package of the 2018 iPhones support a charging rate of 5W. All the iPhones that have launched in the past such as the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus all carry support for 5W charging through the bundled charger. The 5W charger can take less time to charge the iPhone 6 that includes a 1,715mAh battery, but for the new iPhones certainly need a highly-rated charger, 9 to 5 Mac reported.

The 6.5-inch iPhone XS Mx has a 3,174mAh battery. The 5.8-inch iPhone XS and 6.1-inch iPhone XR respectively feature 2,658mAh and 2,942mAh batteries. It takes around 4 hours for the bundled 5W charger to charge the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR models. Using the new 12W charger with a price tag of $15 available with Apple can significantly speed up the charging times on the new iPhones.
