The short answer is to opt for Apple’s 30W USB-C Power Adapter, which at $39 is the company’s lowest-priced charger that can charge the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max at their maximum supported charging speeds of 25W and 27W, respectively. . All other higher-priced Apple chargers, like the new 35W Dual USB-C Adapter for $59, charge devices at equal speeds at best with negligibly faster speeds. The chart below is in Chinese, but it shows that all Apple 29W or higher adapters charged the iPhone 14 Pro Max at 26W to almost 27W. While charging speeds for the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro remain to be seen, the 30W adapter should be the best choice for those devices as well. Interestingly, Chongdiantou found that the iPhone 14 Pro Max can briefly achieve peak charging speeds of nearly 29W with Apple’s older 29W power adapter, which was designed for the 12-inch MacBook and was discontinued in June 2018. In comparison, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max are capable of charging speeds of up to 23W and 27W, respectively, according to Chongdiantou’s sister site ChargerLAB, so Lightning charging speeds for all iPhone 14 models are largely the same this year, ahead of Apple’s expectations. switch to USB-C for iPhone 15 models next year. Apple no longer includes a charger in the box with iPhones. For all four iPhone 14 models, the company says users can charge the devices to 50% in about 30 minutes with a supported 20W or higher power adapter, just like previous models.
