How long to charge iphone 13 pro max

The iPhone 13 Pro Max can charge a bit faster than other models, according to tests done by YouTuber ChargerLAB (and backed up by other tests), which show that the phone sips up to 27 watts of power when plugged into a compatible charging brick. If you have a 13 Pro Max and want to fill up its massive battery as fast as possible, you may want to look into getting a 30W charger that, according to tests cited by @duanrui1205, can charge it from zero to full in less than 90 minutes.

This appears to be an upgrade from the previous generation — 9to5Mac reports that the iPhone 12 caps out at around 22W charging speeds. That’s about a 5W boost, which is nothing to sneeze at. The benefit of a bigger charger is limited to the Pro Max, according to @duanrui1205, who said that the smaller iPhone 13 Pro could only charge at 20W. All of this goes out the window if you’re charging wirelessly or with Apple’s MagSafe puck — you’ll be limited to 15W at most.

If you’re looking for a 30W brick to charge your Pro Max a bit faster, it’s probably worth looking around your house first: Apple includes 30W chargers with its new MacBook Air, and the 61W charger that comes with MacBook Pros could also provide the 27 watts your phone craves. You can check any other chargers in your house by reading the regulatory text that’s usually printed near the prongs — if it doesn’t outright say the wattage, you can figure it out by multiplying the amps and voltage.

If your search for a 30W charger didn’t turn up anything, Apple will happily sell you one. You can also find plenty of third-party ones, like Anker’s tiny Nano II GaN brick. One thing to note when looking at chargers is the charge rates they support — to get the 27W charging, the iPhone is looking for 9V at three amps, according to ChargerLAB’s video (which shows one 30W charger that’s only charging the iPhone at 18W).

The new iPhone 13 family has officially been up for sale in over 30 countries for over a day now. We already have the first wave of early impressions and with every passing hour people are digging deeper and deeper into the new hot-ticket Apple items, doing things like teardowns. We have also started working on our iPhone 13 in-depth reviews, so stay tuned for those.

In the meantime, we came across some interesting early charging tests on the iPhone 13 family. Naturally, we'll have to do some testing of our own, just to be sure of the methodology. But, if everything checks out, it seems that the iPhone 13 Pro Max can reach up to 27W of PD charging, with a sustained charging session of about 27 minutes at a cool 26W of power, which then gets lowered a bit and is capped-off by about 25 minutes of trickle charge at 0.8W.

A full charge on the iPhone 13 Pro max reportedly takes around 86 minutes, from 0% to 100%, as per its own battery reading. As a reminder, it has a 4,373 mAh battery to top-off.

The vanilla iPhone 13 was tested with both a 20W and a 30W PD charger and managed to peak at around 21W of power draw during its charging cycle on the latter and 19W on the former. The total charging time with both chargers, however was right around 89 minutes, with the iPhone 13 trickle charging at around 0.7W. The 89 minutes, once again, were measured using the iPhone's own battery percentage. According to the tester, if left charging beyond that, the iPhone 13 actually continues to trickle charge for a total charging time of 107 minutes. As a reminder, the iPhone 13 has a 3,240 mAh battery.

Finally, the source tested the iPhone 13 mini as well. Its charging peaked at around 15W of PD and a full charge, again as reported by the phone itself took about 87 minutes. The iPhone 13 mini has a 2,438 mAh battery.

So, to sum up, if these numbers check out, it seems that Apple hasn't really upgraded the actual zero to full charging speeds on the new iPhone 13 family, instead opting for impressive consistency device to device and even across generations. There is plenty of trickle charge allotted on each model, which is good for long-term battery health.

Another potential takeaway from these numbers concerns the sort of PD charger you might want to pick up for your new iPhone 13, now that one isn't included in the box. A 30W or larger capacity one will be ideal for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, whereas you can safely opt for a 20W one for the vanilla iPhone 13 without sacrificing charging time. And the iPhone 13 mini should be good with an even smaller 18W PD charger. No word on the iPhone 13 Pro yet.
