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. Love the content man!
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.
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.

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. It’s just how lithium batteries are, which may be the reason the 20w beat the 30w. Also, Linus does a really good video showing how charging faster is usually better for your phone, so if you don’t believe me you can watch the video yourself Battery Health is made for seeing how “healthy” your battery is, because every battery is different, comparing your battery health to everyone else’s isn’t gonna prove anything.
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.
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.
to clarify something here, optimized battery charging is for when you charge your phone overnight, it will stop charging the phone past 80% completely until you're about to wake up. For the sake of this testing you could've left it on since it wouldn't do anything since its daytime, also you would see a notification when it pauses the charging so you could just force it to charge to 100% from there if it did end up kicking on
@@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
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!
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)
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.
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%.

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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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 🥰
@@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
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
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!
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.
i prefer using the 5w to preserve the battery health on my phone, 100% is enough to last a day and if you charge it overnight it’ll be fully charged anyway
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.
6:46 I have to say, I completely disagree here. Yes, 2 hours is a long time to be charging, but it is very important to note that this is to protect the battery. 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%.
@@nalsra0 No, I don't "overthink it," I just understand that IOS, windows, android and literally any other modern OS on a portable device ALWAYS scales battery charging. If it always charged at full speed up in the 80-100% range to maximum capacity, your battery wouldn't last 4 years---more like 4 months lmao
So for people who don't understand or know about battery technology. Companies who advertise your phone can charge at 60 , 100, 120, etc . The heat and charging is going into the brick itself and the charging alternates with the battery itself in the device, due to how fast charging works so that it's not heating up the phone as much and destroying the battery over time. As someone who has a one plus 9 pro with 65 watt charger, my phone doesn't increase in temps that much when charging at all. This all comes down to implementation of how the tech works and apple chooses to give you raw power which is why the phones are hot compared to looking at other devices where they trickle the power into your device due to how the batteries are set up in the devices and the brick itself, which is why the 5 watt is hotter than the others but the phones are hotter with the higher charger ones, Plus phones with higher charging can also optimize night charging too where it can slow it down until a little before you wake up and you can set that time or the phone can learn when you use it from when you wake up in the mornings or do it for you, that's how the pixel does. test like this can be slightly pointless because apple does limit charging because of the device itself so you can grab a faster charger hoping it's gonna charge your phone faster or if the device supports super fast charging sometimes it need stop check the specific brick and cable to do that actual charge safely or it won't work at all.
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
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.
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.
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
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%.
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 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 ))
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.
This comment section are driving me crazy. An iPhone will not allow itself to overheat to the point of causing ANY battery damage whatsoever from charging, and throttle the charging speed to avoid damage as we see from the video. The only advantage of a 5w adapter is it’s cheap.
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
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.
I use a 25 watt Samsung adapter for my iPhone 13 pro max and the iPhone is 100% charged within 60 minutes. The battery percentage of the battery is also 100% while I have been using the iPhone for 7 months now.
If you don’t use an original cable it charge slower. Something that also influences is that if a phone has been without battery for longer than another, it takes longer to turn on
5w is the best charger to use at night
Because its slow?

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
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.
I use MagSafe to charge my iPhone, does this have the same problem? MagSafe has les watt right?
@@jesper3185
Wireless charging is also not pretty good for the battery, but it's still better than these 30 Watt chargers.
@Tritium Dioxide: Thanks for the information. Can you tell along the 5W apple adapter and which cable did you use or recommend ? for 14pro
@@carieanil I used the standard apple cable that came inside the iphone box.
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.
This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you.
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.
Appreciate your time on this vid bro 🅿️
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.
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.
Great video! The thermal camera was a very nice touch.
Wel klasse voor de uitsupporters die met toch best grote groep zijn gekomen en er een mooie sfeer van maakten
Nice test! I would love to see it tested and compared to the MagSafe charger.
This 👍🏼
Good to see the boy is striving and succeeding , don’t forget about us when you famous lol
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 🥰
Watched the whole thing! Coming from the XR, was just looking for which charger to get. Might keep the 5W for overnight charging
This is what I do for overnight. I have no desire to burn my battery up with a huge wattage charger while I sleep. Let it charge as slow as it needs.
I don’t see the point Apple already replace the battery for a decent price hell to the crammy 5w
Hail to the almighty 30w 😎
@@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
@@Zachman1124 thats why your battery life sucks on iphone
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
Thanks for this man, excellent test.
Great video….bring back these type of videos I would love to see you charge up with a iPad charger
Thank you for the testing I think now the 5W is best for my iPhone 14pro max
Hat's off to your hard work
Just bought my first apple phone that only came with a cable. This video was very helpful, thank you.
This test is great and thanks for also measuring temperatures!!
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
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
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.
i prefer using the 5w to preserve the battery health on my phone, 100% is enough to last a day and if you charge it overnight it’ll be fully charged anyway
love your content man, keep it up. honestly enjoy your videos more than MKBHD's
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.
6:46 I have to say, I completely disagree here. Yes, 2 hours is a long time to be charging, but it is very important to note that this is to protect the battery. 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%.
Dude u overthink it lol. New batteries are only like $70 and easy to replace and that’s like 4 years until ur first battery goes out
@@nalsra0 No, I don't "overthink it," I just understand that IOS, windows, android and literally any other modern OS on a portable device ALWAYS scales battery charging. If it always charged at full speed up in the 80-100% range to maximum capacity, your battery wouldn't last 4 years---more like 4 months lmao
So for people who don't understand or know about battery technology. Companies who advertise your phone can charge at 60 , 100, 120, etc . The heat and charging is going into the brick itself and the charging alternates with the battery itself in the device, due to how fast charging works so that it's not heating up the phone as much and destroying the battery over time. As someone who has a one plus 9 pro with 65 watt charger, my phone doesn't increase in temps that much when charging at all. This all comes down to implementation of how the tech works and apple chooses to give you raw power which is why the phones are hot compared to looking at other devices where they trickle the power into your device due to how the batteries are set up in the devices and the brick itself, which is why the 5 watt is hotter than the others but the phones are hotter with the higher charger ones, Plus phones with higher charging can also optimize night charging too where it can slow it down until a little before you wake up and you can set that time or the phone can learn when you use it from when you wake up in the mornings or do it for you, that's how the pixel does. test like this can be slightly pointless because apple does limit charging because of the device itself so you can grab a faster charger hoping it's gonna charge your phone faster or if the device supports super fast charging sometimes it need stop check the specific brick and cable to do that actual charge safely or it won't work at all.
BRO WICH ONE IS THE BEST FOR MY BATTERY HEALTH
Great video. I was deciding which watt rating charger to buy. Thanks for the info.😎👍
Just get a 20 I’d say
@@musabs5848 iphone 14 pro max is just a copycat of Nothing Phone 1🎉
Oh, my light died 🤣 The pure reaction was on point 😎
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?
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
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 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.
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

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
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%.
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 😔
Interesting take. Thank you for making this video!
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 😂
For battery health, I ALWAYS only use the 5 watt adapter. Less heat, slower charge - more battery health. It’s physics.
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 ))
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.
I find that when charging my phone that it goes faster when directly charged lugged into the outlet vs plugged into the power strip.
Good video. Please do some similar charging test, but all with wireless chargers.
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
imo the best charger is the 12w charger. Its way faster than the 5w but the iPhone is not getting hot.
I feel a faster charging speed on my regular 14 compared to the 13, using the 20W charger. Can you please check ?
First time watching your video and I like it.... Subscribed ✌️👍
Did you turn off Optimized Battery Charging?
yes at 5:34
@@kantipoddar oh ok didn’t see that
This comment section are driving me crazy. An iPhone will not allow itself to overheat to the point of causing ANY battery damage whatsoever from charging, and throttle the charging speed to avoid damage as we see from the video. The only advantage of a 5w adapter is it’s cheap.
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
Jumped from Samsung s22 ultra to apple 14pro, amazing phone but damn it is charging like a phone from the past, so slow!
WHICH ONE IS THE BEST FOR YOU ?!!!
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.

What a clear comparison, thanks mate
Thanks for the content man. Just an fyi, it's neck and neck, not neck on neck.
If you don’t use an original cable it charge slower. Something that also influences is that if a phone has been without battery for longer than another, it takes longer to turn on
