Best combo is 5w next to your bed to slowly charge overnight and keep battery health, and a 20W on hand in case you need quick charge.
This
Jokes on you I only have 30w
There’s a reason why Apple implemented the adaptive health thingy under battery health, its to freeze the charging at 80% and continue charging after you wake up
Your battery would still degrade. People worry about a few percent degradation when Android manufacturers guarantee good battery health even using 100 watt
@@SamSard True, Xiaomi already reach 210 watt tho 😭💀
Surprising result from the 12W adapter!
yeah thats im using since i upgraded my older ipad to the newer Air 4 a few years ago for my iPhone its perfect, not to fast (dont see a higher drain on overall battery health) not to slow.
It took 2h 43 min to get my iPhone 14 pro to 100% with 12 watts, and with 27+ watt charger it only took 1h 27min, with up to 66% at 30 min.
27 watt charger (only charges at 20 watts idle but can reach 27 if being gamed on while fast charging)
5 min to 16%
10 min to 28%
15 min to 38%
30 min to 64%
45 min to 80%
1 hour to 90%
1hour 15 min to 97%
Fully charged in 1 hour 27min 40 sec.
Used a 5 port 240w power adapter, using 100w usb c port, and usb c to c cable with PD lightning adapter.
I am using 10 watt charger 😂
@@Prafulla_Nighot 10 watt charger should be about same time, don't know why my phone took so long. Going to retest my 12w times with apple 5.2v 2.4a
Yes i think 12w is same speed as 20
The test was interesting to watch, I was expecting whether you could show the temperature of the devices as well as the charger. It would have been a great comparison!
It’ll be pretty much the same and scale with charge rate. I know from testing it myself.
@@TCPUDPATM Good to know, but on this video (ua-cam.com/video/5TYLzwgrNYI/v-deo.html), we can see the 20W charger actually generates more heat, while the 5W and 10W ones are the same. By this, the best to leave it overcharging at night would be the 10W one.
The 20W cooked my 12 Pro Max’s battery. The thing got so hot, even without a case on. I changed over to a 12W and still good charge speeds but much less heat
Yea higher watt charger will fry up your battery, surely while using your phone and the battery exceeding over 80%
@@booya6437 Dang, that's not a good look for the iPhone.
Chinese manufacturers are pushing upwards of 200W and even the 80W implementation is mid-range and optimized now.
The fact that Apple's implementation is struggling with 20W is embarrassing to say the least
20W-day & 5W-night. I agree!
It would've been nice to know what the temperatures were throughout the test because not just the charge cycles but heat are a big factor in battery degradation
Use the 5w if you want to extend the life of your battery as much as possible

I have a 20w brick for emergencies but I charge on a 5w regularly to preserve the battery health over time.
I might do the same when I get IPhone 15
i've had my 14 pro max for 10 months now and i'm at 98% capacity using the 20w brick every day, I think it's safe to say you don't have to worry about "preserving your battery"...
@@ViciousFirearms are you on the latest IOS? Because the battery health shown in the settings is not precise. It only gets updated when you update the system software.
@@ViciousFirearms your iphone's battery health will definitely be below 98% because a new iphone doesn't have 100% battery health. Due to manufacturing inconsistencies and the nature of lithium ion used in that particular iphone, battery health from the factory may vary.
Great test! To eliminate one more variable. Put the phones in airplane mode so that the modem isn't drawing power that could either wise be used to charge. You can see different signal strength across the tests, which though small CAN contribute to differing results.
그래봤자 별 차이 안 난다. 몇분 몇초 차이는 날수도
it doesnt matter at that point.
How many users are activating airplane mode during the charging? the point of these tests are in real test conditions..
@@peeticek1624 wrong. The point of the test isn't to simulate real-world inaccuracies, but to isolate variables down to just the differences in the charging bricks themselves. It doesn't matter if people don't actually leave their phones in airplane mode when charging; we're here to see how wattage ON ITS OWN affects the phone's potential charging speed.
If actual scientific tests were done without controlled variables, then results would be highly varied and ultimately useless.
@@steph_on_yt in actual scientific tests, he would need to charge many phones of the same model many times with each charger, so I don't think this is something reasonable to expect, he already spent 2 hours in 5 different days just for this video...
Energy consumption of wifi is almost half of cellular and on wifi it is upmost a watt during active use in bad conditions. Considering the time spent charging and time the phone spends transferring data in the background, it probably would be within margin of error for sure. (See Android's Doze solution, which probably isn't much different from iOS')
I am impressed with the 20w charger the most as it compared to the 30w and 35w it pretty much stayed right with them during the entire charge, but I was also impressed with the 12w charger it wasn't far behind and was way ahead of the 5w charger after watching this video I just upgraded my little 5w to the 20w charger, Thanks for helping me understand chargers a little bit more. 👍
I was not superise at all because iPhone battery charges at 20W at maximum. So, at far as the 20W charge keeps the speed as designed, it can charge as fast as the more powerful chargers. But it's still very a nice video because it can show the fact as same as the theory.
Iphone 11 caps charge at 18-20w so yeah even a 30w charger wont make a difference
But you should buy the largest one, cause its cooling is the best, and you can keep it in a long time, cause maximum ip14 promax receive cap at 27w :D
@@GiangNguyen-timay2928 that’s right ☺️☺️☺️
@ hey, I have the 14, is it safe to use the 20W charger on a regular basis to charge this phone? thanks
Very cool test. Thanks for posting. Didn't know the 5W was that "slow" in comparison.
But it’s the best one for charging while sleeping, as it preserves the battery much better!
the reason the 35 watt adapter is slower is because 2 port adapters have a feature where it charges the second port even if it's not plugged to avoid the power gate delay
how does it charge if nothing is connected?
Does it charge the air ?😂😂😂
@@morfgo true, if it's just getting rid of electricity that's breaking law of conservation of energy.
@@someidiot4311 maybe it's heating the air around the charger with 20 watt
@@morfgo The efficiency of the charger is not 100%.
There is small amount of power consumed while the charger is connected to the wall and nothing connected to its port(s), it is called standby power or vampire power.
This is because of the resistance of the electrical components inside the charger.
@@asj2020 and because of the standby power draw the 35 Watt charger is slower?
Seems pretty unlikely to me
The 12W is the safest for folks who don’t have Apple Care+. It’ll keep the battery health in positive shape since it wont heat up the phone, while giving a nice quick charge.
@@ifGaragepretty much
because the charing voltage stays the same for 5w and 12w charge ( 5 Volt ) while the "fast charing" Voltage is higher ( 9V ) you can also read the 9V Label on your power supply (20w) > more voltage pressure more speed.
bs
Using a 20 watt charger in 20 days I lost 0,3% health. I'm now using a 12 watt charger for 20 days to see how it degrades. I might try a 5 watt brick for 20 days after that.
@@zizmares indeed! Many people are in denial thinking fast charging is for free… It comes with its drawbacks.
Awesome to see this. I bought an anker 35w and have a 30w and with my 13 pro I noticed my 20w ipad charger does charge just as fast, so good to know that there isn’t a need to go higher for that. However, with my m1 ipad pro, the 35w charger charges that battery so fast! So I am glad I spent the money on it!
iPhones charge at a 20W maximum (besides the 14 pro max, which does 27W max). using a 30W charger won't make any difference because Apple only designed iPhones to charge at 20W for some reason. iPads can charge at 30W because the larger battery and screen. I don't know why apple doesn't just allow faster charging, because most android phones can charge over 40W with no issues.

Been looking for a video like this just comparing charger wattage. Thank you!!!
i have the 14 pro as well - and since i only charge in the night - i'm only using the 5w adapter and my old cable for it. why bother with buying a new adapter, when old one + old cable work as fine. as long as i have 100% in the morning, i dont care much about the speed
Please include temperature comparisons at the end of the test. My iPhone 12 Pro gets too hot charging with 30W adapter, and it stays cool when charging using a slow 5W charger. It would be interesting to see the results and how well phones can handle the extra watts.
it's normal that a device gets hot when fast charging
I have 5W and 10w chargers, both keeps the phone cool while charging.
@@johto yeah because that's low wattage = no heat
ENERGY = HEAT
It would be nice if you did this with the Pro Max (which goes to 27w) as it would be interesting see how much of a difference a 30w makes compared to 20w.
nice test, would love to see the same with the 14 Pro max, who can goes up to 29 Watts.
that would be very briefly and would only be for a larger battery so the rate that the state of charge increases is likely very, very similar. it would take long to switch from requesting 15v-1.9A(29w) lowering to 15v-1.8A(27w) then switching to 9v-3A(27w) and lowering to 9v-1.67A(15w) then once again switching to 5v-3A(15w) and lowering the amperage all the way to 0.1A at 5v (0.5w trickle charging) as it approaches 100%
There are iPhone cables that show how many volts the phone is pulling. I have found it very interesting. My 140 watt Macbook adapter = 20 watts. 65 Watt Anker = 20 watts. Most of the time, the phone pulls at like 3-5 watts.
But if you want you battery to last many years, stick with the 5 watt charger.
If you want your sanity though, go with the 1 million watt charger.
To be honest, the difference in watts at this power won't make that much difference. The same thing would have been different 7-8 years ago but now the phones are optimised for higher power and apple is still not providing 20watts plus power.
Also I don't get the idea of saving battery and not fast charging when a battery can be replaced. I have used my iPhone for 5 years with fast charge and the battery got bad at the end. It was a good time for a new phone but the battery can be replaced as well.
Plug your phone in 5w charger before go to bed if you can. It’s that simple.
@@rishabharora2887 counter argument: phones nowadays are have expensive larger oem battery and are sealed. It won’t be properly water resistant anymore as before. iPhone 5 is irrelevant
who keeps a phone for more than a year lets be real
5W is the best option if you normally charge overnight. You are not concerned with charging speed, but the amount of heat generated during charging (which destroys your battery) is the lowest.
Só ligar o carregamento otimizado
I use Anker Nano 20W and 30W. They work fantastic and are smaller and cheaper than Apple chargers.

I just plug my phone in over night and I'm super content with the 5W brick. I've had my 13 Pro Max since it came out and right now (2/2023) I'm at 99% battery health.
How are you at 99 percent lol. I’m down to 88
@@ethancalkins4172 I have the 12 watt I use every other day. 13 pro max and same battery health. 5 watt overnight doesn’t hurt. I just don’t need any faster. But there are other factors as well. Using your phone while charging will heat it up faster and degrade battery health. Especially if you game on your phone regularly. Leave in hot car. Or most people seem to not notice is gaming while charging. Real bad one. A friend has iPhone 13 and only 93 battery health and they leave it on the charger overnight constantly. Also 12 watt but they play on it while charging.
You are lying lmao since it came out and you’re only on 99% stop capping. It’s been more than a year since that phn came out
I have the 12W. It's not unreasonably slow. No need to upgrade.
of course not, did you see the video? you would only gain 20 minutes, and possible warm you battery more during charging(bad).
The 12 watt is the best for a healthy speed and less damage to your battery.
great video and breakdown between the different voltages and charge times!
Some androids with 20 minutes full charge :
Did you say 1 hour 30 minutes is a fast charging?😂😂😂
why waste time waiting for the battery to charge and the phone to heat up?😂😂😂
Cool video! Glad to see that I only have 20W chargers in my house as they charge the fastest.
I have 5W
My favourite charger is the 5w charger, because my phone doesn’t get as hot as when I use the 12w one. Also I actually like the long charging time because then I have time to do something without my phone (I am somewhat addicted to my phone, but the addiction mostly pauses while charging). Unfortunately, I broke my 5w charger (I bend these ”sticks“ that you plug in) and I couldn‘t find a really authentic Apple 5w charger online, not even Apple themselves sell them anymore (at least in my country), so I had to get a 12w charger (I wanted it to be as slow as possible), and it charges really fast, but my phone gets quite warm while charging (like I was playing an intense game with detailed 3D graphics), so I always take off the case now.
sounds like you have an se 😂
@@TunedFusion3.0 nope, an 8+. 😂
If you’re not playing games while it’s charging, it doesn’t get hot.
@@jbar_85 I usually don’t use it while charging, only to check how many percent it is at. 🤷♀️
Im want to do the same but I need the 5w, do you have an Amazon link which a brand you recommends with 5w?
The 30W and 35W will charge faster if you use the phone whilst charging as they can power the cpu/screen whilst maintaining charging power, the 20W will divert power to the cpu/screen.
Very nice and interesting video. A very small detail most people don't even bother about and would probably opt for the higher wattage adaptor for fast charging.
exactly. I'm sick and tired of comments from people boasting about their chargers having ridiculously high wattage than what iPhone users have when super higher wattage barely matters.
Your video quality is delightful. I have subscribed. Thank you.
I have got 20 W charger but still charging it with 5 W one.
Perfect, thanks. One reason to get the 30W over the 20W is travel: the 30W can fit other plugs using apple plug adapters, with the 20W you would need an additional and more bulky adapter to user the plug in another country
Why get an adaptateur when you can buy the plug from the country you’re going to
@@B--en4db By adapter I'm referring to the "plugs" that Apple provides modular pieces for different country's outlets
What about voltages?
@@someidiot4311 the chargers show an input range on the bottom of them. They're made to accept a range of voltages, so that they may be used in Europe, the US, and presumably any other country Apple makes plug adapters for
@@DuneArchitect oh, thanks.
I’ve been using 5w and 10w, my IPhone battery life is still 97% after 2 years. I don’t think I need a higher wattage charger
Brilliant video, answered a long standing question I have, can you please do the same test on the iPad Air
Where is the 10w adapter?
Great work!
You could've also checked the temperature of the phone and the chargers.
Can a 5w charger damage the iphone 14 pro over time if used on regular basis? Or is just the time that takes to fully charge and that´s it?
Nice Video! Could you also take temperature measurements for other tests in the future?
I do notice when I replaced my iPhone 20 watt brick with my Samsung 25 watt brick, I got faster charging and my phone got hot way more.
Same here i been using anker 65w adapter and i noticed the same thing i will be switching back to the 20w definitely
Very nice comparison mate, i wish you tested out the temperature while doing this test
Apple seems to have dropped the 5 watt charger. I use 5 watt at work and at home 12 watt but with Apple CarPlay I can’t control the charge speed, which I think is 12 watts.
with the 5w you can preserve the battery, right?
Yes
Yes
For my iPhone 15, I use the charger that came with it sometimes, it’s a 20 watt charger. I now use a 45 watt charger and it charges pretty fast
Can you do an all iPhone 14+ and 14 pro charging test with different chargers?
Great test, thanks man!
I've used my Macbook 140W powerbrick to charge my 13promax for 5months. surprisingly my batt health still at its peak 100% and it charges fast.
12W is best because 20 minutes isnt a lot and its probably WAYY cheaper than 20 etc
Well done ! so I only need is the 5 W and 12 W will do.
I know a lot of random people talk about the charging with USB C, but I have the optimized battery turned on, it will only charge full when it knows I needed it, even I don’t even know when I needed it lol and I have source to power or power bank 90% of the time.
Even when I get to other office/home/place, I am sure they have an iPhone or iPad at home so I can use their charger if needed, I would rather invest into magsafe charging cable than TB3/4 cable.
Thank you, this is what I needed
In Europe I can't even find the 5W charger on Apple's webstore.
i always use my iphone 14 pro with my macbook pro charger.. does it effect to my battery health? cause i heard bout fast charging makes the battery health drop faster
can i use macbook air m1 charger 30W on iphone with fast charging? and is that safe?
Es demasiado curioso que aún en la actualidad quieran desperdiciar tiempo de espera de 3 hrs usando 5W con el pretexto de salud de batería
Actualmente las baterías están diseñadas para soportar más W y las baterías ser más resistentes
Seguir usando 5W para "Cuidado de batería" es como decir que Apple no sabe sobre el manejo de las baterías con mayor W es totalmente tonto pensar sobre ello
Usa los 20W que soporta para eficiencia de día
Appreciate your experiment bro
extremely helpful information. Great video for making an adaptor purchasing decision.
This was very helpful
I just adore your videos
I wonder if the time to deplete the battery for each is going to be the same or different? For some reason I feel like when the phone is charged faster than recommended, they tend to drain quicker?
That's not how batteries work lol
The faster you charge a battery,the more you reduce the life of the battery,i charge mine at 5W,and it stays nice and cool
Eventho i have the 30w Adapter, I’m still using the 5w to charge my iPhone 14 PM while sleeping at night. Will only use the 30w when I’m on the run, only.
35W, This is not 35W output each per port,Its 20W+15W= 35W. Check the results 20W and 35W same.
Perfectly created and explained video 🙏👍
Why are the times different on all iPhone 14 pros
Can you check the temperature of each machine ?
I use an iPhone 15 and the 20w charger is very hot !
I'm thinking about switching to a 12w or 10w charger because I usually charge it overnight
5 watt’s It's perfect for charging the iPhone at dawn while I sleep, as well as being the least harmful to the battery 🤭
Very helpful, thanks a lot!
Good job Bro, excellent video! Thanks
Thank you. I bought the 20 watt based on cost, etc. I had no idea the se is capped at 20 watt until I looked it up just now. I got lucky to purchase the fastest charger my phone can handle and again by finding out that fact when I was thinking of buying a higher wattage charger.
you’re going to absolutely regret getting that se. your battery health will be shit in about a year
Officially, the SE also can charge with 29W @ 14.5V.
I currently charge my iphone 14 pro max with mac 30 w charger.. can you tell if its damaging to the battery health or not?
Check if it gets hot and don’t use while charging it
Very interesting. Thanks for the upload and best regards from Germany.

Is there a downside to charging iPhones faster?
Does it downgrade the battery in any way ?
I bought a 20W, but only for travel. I use a wireless charger that has a 7W power block for nightly charging.

YEAH! There's a huge difference in temperature rise, specially between the 5W (which basically doesn't heat the phone at all), and the 20/30/35W (which are basically the same). That's why I charge my 14 pro overnight using the 5W adapter... The less heat, the better for the battery!
@@vinylambrecht@ Vinicius Lambrecht Me too, I'm using 14Plus and a 5W adapter, and I think that's healthy for the battery.
Nice video! Well thought out
the main reason why the 20 and 30 were so close was because the iphone really only goes up to about 27 watts at the very start of the charge then slows down later on for better battery health
the 30 and 35 watt chargers wont be faster than the 20w because iPhones only charge at 20W maximum for some reason. The higher wattage chargers are mainly for iPads and Macbooks
Edit: the iphone 14 pro max can charge at 27 watts, so that might make a difference.
Honestly not mad they don’t give you that 5 watt anymore 😂
