iPhone 15 Pro Max Battery CHARGE Test - This CHANGED My Mind!

iPhone 15 Pro Max Battery CHARGE Test - This Changed my Mind! | Apple 30W vs 20W vs 12W vs 5W Chargers with iPhone 15 Pro Max
Today, we're comparing four variations of Apple's chargers - the 30W, 20W, 12W and 5W - on how fast they can charge up the iPhone 15 Pro Max with the USB-C port from 0-100%.
And while we know the 30W and 20W will charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max faster than the 12W or 5W, how big of a difference does it actually make? And does the faster speed equate to more heat and negative effects to the battery? Let's find out. Enjoy!

Which charging block do you currently use? 🔋

Lighting, not upgrading this year, but hopefully next year. My ipad pro however I'm using USB-C (Thunderbolt)

[@BrandonButch]

@@rexjarvis117 nice! What block are you using?

[@rexjarvis117]

@@BrandonButch usually for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPad Pro is 30W block, I don't use a 5w due to fire hazard

[@rexjarvis117]

I can't believe the 5W block is very hot; it could've started a fire if kept plugged in. If I used that for my iPad Pro, that power block would blow up and start a fire. It's not worth using a 5W block charger. Newer iPhones, both regular and the pro models, even the iPad and the pro models, need to be higher in watts of power thanks to how powerful the components are.

For the rest of us 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 viewers in the world 🌍 who are not living in the U.S. and use the metric system for measurement, the temperature conversions (which should've been included in the video but weren't) for the phone Vs block charts are as follows: Phone Block 114*F = 45.6*C 96*F = 35.6*C 107*F = 41.7*C 99*F = 37.2*C 96*F = 35.6*C 125*F = 51.7*C 94*F = 34.4*C 160*F = 71.1*C

Interesting Video. Thank you for this. Do you have any plans to redo the test using the charging optimization? I'm curious to see if the slight difference between the 20w and 30w is negated from the apple optimization.

[@king...675]

turning off the charging optimization wont do anything if the iphone is new and also if you take care of the battery( taking your phone off the charger immediately after it gets to 100 percent everytime).

[@marg8315]

I have a 5W and 20W iPad Pro charger at home. My charging blocks don’t seem to heat up that much - so I’m not sure why your 5W brick did. However, my phone stays stone cold on 5W charging while it how generate some heat with 20W or wireless charging. That’s why still plug in my phone with a 5W brick overnight and at the office for topping up. But I use only my MacBook/iPad Pro charger to charge my iPhone when I travel.

[@HearMeLearn]

You should check your charger more because the 5w definitely heats up a lot

[@TheCreamRisesToTheTop]

Using percentages to describe differences in percentages is a big no no. That’s what basis points are for. Saying 32% is 28% higher than 4% is completely wrong.

[@johnterragnoli8367]

It would be interesting if you found a way to keep the phones cool during the fast charging to see if it would make the 30W pull ahead. I wonder if the increased temperature caused Apple to throttle how many watts it was pulling.

[@mnbaa88]

Great comparison and analysis… clear and really like it. Just to share my experience: i did mine for iphone 15 promax, from 0% - 100% (using 20w) only took 101 minutes.

[@UnofficialSno]

It would have been better to have a higher wattage charger in the mix since your data shows that none of the chargers are the max advertised speeds. At the very least have a 45w charger to be able to showcase the actual max wattage pulled by the iPhone in a situation where it will have the headroom to do so.

The temps you were reading were the reflected temp from the phone you were holding. You need to thermal image a matte surface, maybe the back of the phone. The glass screen will act like a mirror for a thermal imaging camera. You can see the same effect if you point it at a window.

[@gabrielw171]

That’s just the video I needed 😅

[@stormrider01]

Does the 5W charger has been discontinued? I can´t find it anywhere.

[@neilmcmahon]

I used to work in a company that designed a charger control chip that basically speaks to the battery charge control unit in the phone and let me tell you that it much more complicated than just plugging it in and pumping current into the massive capacitor (battery). Interesting to see the 5W supply heating the socket to 160F - Wonder what current the charger itself was taking in from the mains. Perhaps you could have had them plugged into smart sockets to illustrate how much power the charger was actually consuming to deliver the output to the battery.

[@harrington4471]

Power supplies normally have a TDP matching highest rated power delivery but run more efficiently when not maxed out. A 45 watt PD brick would run much cooler than a 30 watt one if both were supplying 27 watts to the iPhone. When the 5 watt brick first came out devices probably didn’t pull 5 watts the entire charge time but a current phone probably pulls that the whole time since battery technology has evolved to stay cooler.

[@harrison00xXx]

Perhaps his 5W charger was already aged/damaged too heavy. So if, he could show at best that you better replace your chargers here and then when the components aged too much and they get inefficient and hot. My 5W iPhone charging brick from like iPhone 5/6 times barely gets warm, as it has to be, considering they have about 80-90% efficiency (so MAXIMUM 1W heat output) Its also sad, but i dont have any use for the 5W brick anymore since i changed from iPhone 12 Mini (8Wh) to 15 (13Wh), the longer charging time on the iPhone 15 is horrendous with 5W (about 2 vs 4 Hours for 0-100%). But newer iPhones i exclusively (if possible) i charge with something slower than 15W. A Samsung fast charging brick charges my iPhone 15 with about 5V and 2.1A for 10W, 10W is at least for the iPhone 15 (no Plus or Pro Max) a sweet spot of usable "fast" charging speed AND barely noticeable warming up.

[@brettodonnell4187]

I've been using an Apple 5W charger for years for overnight charging, but seeing this I think I'll switch it out for a 12W Apple charger that I still have but don't use for anything. Thanks for the info!

[@Kloverkill]

I've been a big fan of trickle (5W) charging overnight for my phones, it's not scientific but my 2 and 3 year battery health percentages have never dropped below 97% and 94% respectfully using this method. Same company phones (2 year old 13 Pro Maxs) using MagSafe and 30W chargers are 89% and 88%.

[@Danik.iceman]

Yes, 5 and 12 watts will run cooler temps on the phone, but the phone will hot during charging for 5 hours, where as using 20 or 30 watt will reduce the charging time which means your phone will be hot less amount time even though the temp will be higher

[@MekKaiver]

I have been using an Anker Nano II 30W for my 14 Pro for one year now. I never use magsafe and never charge it overnight but only at breakfast or in the evening. I start charging at 30-35% till it's at 80-90%, sometimes 100%, and still got 100% battery health. My charging behaviour was the same with my P30 Pro (45W charger) and I couldn't notice any significant difference in battery life after 3,5 years. I don't play games on my phone though, might be a factor for faster degrading batteries, don't know.

[@dirtybug666]

Playing games makes your phone slightly hotter and drains your battery faster, thus makes you charge your phone more than once a day and will consume the battery health.

Apple has also confirmed that these phones will ignore the 80% cap on occasion in order to fully charge for the purposes of battery conditioning. No idea how often that happens, but it has charged past 80% twice with me so far (maybe 4-5 charges between each occasion).

apple 29w charger (used to come with 12 inch macbook and maybe some macbook air) trigger special 14.5v charging protocol, which will actually charge slightly faster than the 9V3A profile from the 30w. on my 15PM with the 29w adapter, i’ve seen around 28W charging speed on my usbc multimeter readings, compared to around 24-25watts from my 30w adapter (agrees with brandon’s results from the video). very unique power adapter, i bought two on ebay just for testing this protocol. i haven’t measured phone temp (i don’t have the fancy thermal cam) but higher voltage means less current to get the same wattage, so it may even keep the phone cooler (or same temp with faster charge?) might be worth looking into. very informative video!

[@harrison00xXx]

As a electrical engineer i know Lithium Ion/Polymer batteries dont like more than 1C charging speed. My iPhone 12 Mini had about 8-9Wh battery, the 5W brick, giving about 4,8-5,2W needed about 2 hours for 100%, charging speed of about 0,5-0,6C, perfect for longevity and this battery has after 600 cycles and 3 years still 89% health. With the iPhone 15 5W became too slow, nearly 2x the battery capacity means instead of 2 hours charging 4 hours which is bad. Just for fun i started the 20 Minute 3DMark stress test with even low brightness and tried if the 5W charger can still charge... NOPE, battery drains on the iPhone 15 with 5W under heavy load. 5W or "super slow charging" is really not recommended anymore, and you should realise this as end user when your phone charges for 4+ hours for a full charge. Just when it comes to wireless charging... i avoid it as good as possible except in the car where Magsafe is not only the "clamp mechanism" but also a nice way to get some power for navigation or so. When i refer to "fast charging"... its 10, maximum 15W on a iPhone, 30W on the iPad and 65-140W on my 16" MacBook Pro. Regular charging speeds are for me: iPhone 12 Mini 5W, iPhone 15 9 - 12W. iPad Air 5 (M1): 20W (perfect speed, yet a barely warm device!) 16" MacBook Pro: 20W (iPad/iPhone brick), mobile 45W brick or a 65W, 100Wh Powerbank, powerbank mostly just to avoid using the MacBook battery under heavy, sustained load on the go which is like 3-4 hours heavy processing performance just out of the powerbank

Cool test! Thanks for sharing this. Also would like to add some notes here: I’m currently using my old 5w brick (model A1399, I think it only sold with iPhones that was selled in China, this one I probably have since my iPhone 6 or something) and I’m observing numbers pretty different from your tests. I started to charge 39 mins ago (battery was at 5%) and it’s 28% now, the brick is 45 Celsius (around 113 degree F) now, which is far from the 160 F you got using the 5w I believe the peak of temperature in the brick is now or has already passed, since the current is used to be higher when the battery SOC is lower (initial period). I’m wondering if you used a poor cable to charge with the 5w (if so, this might not be different from the cable I’m using now, already ordered a Belkin, but is not in my hands yet), because the time to complete the charge is pretty slow. Please note that I am not derogating from your tests, as these may vary depending on the brick model and even the cable. There are different models of 5W charges.. actually the design of the 5w bricks that was included with iPhones selled in China is quite different from the US model.

So it's a good idea to use 12w brick at least during overnight charging which provide better battery health along with 80% limit option turned on. Good thing if you don't wanna 88% of battery health after one year usage as in 14 iphone lineup. On a mac I use AlDente app and it stops charging as temp hits 35. I'm stiil at 100% battery health after one year

can i use the anker 65w for my iphone 15 promax? or too much? or dont matter?

[@eisaev]

Could you tell hat’s the wallpapers please?

[@rainbowofalexander3956]

How about 35w dual usb C? I found it is so handy to charge both iPhone 15 pm and iPad mini 6. Does it give any harm to the battery health ? Tx !

[@GabGasHS]

For the health of the battery is better to have a slightly minor charging temperature but for more time (12w) or higher temperature but for half of the time (20w)?

[@hackercarlos23]

muy muy buena pregunta. a ver si alguien es capaz de decir algo

[@Ask-Ali]

Would be cool to see a wireless comparison too. With the 5W, 7W, and 15W. I wonder how the 15W MagSafe compares to the 20W

[@LouieSwagGWUOR]

MagSafe slow as hell lol

[@Ask-Ali]

@@LouieSwagGWUOR for sure but I use it for standby

[@Gochsener]

why do ppl talk about 5W charging? Are we in the stone age? My watch charges with 15 watts.

[@WhiteHawk77]

⁠@@LouieSwagGWUORplenty fast enough from me, went from a normal Qi wireless charger with 7.5w which was fine to a Apple official MagSafe with 15w and I was pleasantly surprised how much faster it is. It’ll be a very rare occurrence that I need anything faster than that and for that moment I have a 29w usb c for my iPad Pro I can use.

[@CvSlush]

I use a 20w with a c to c cable for my iPhone 15 pro. Prior I was using the same 20w block c to lighting cable on my 12 pro

[@BlackMagicFools]

How much longer would the battery charged on the 5w block last compared to the 12w, 20w and the 30w? 🤔

[@Kralingenrobin]

The 5w speed is perfect for an overnight charge while you're sleeping. As that is the most common charging what i do, plus it is in the phone holder in the truck at work all day long. Thats a magsafe holder so i am always charging wireless, 24/7. I only need the battery for when I'm waiting on loading and unloading and playing on my phone. So that new feature to only charge to 80% will be very useful to preserve the battery a bit. But battery health doesn't matter too much as I'm always picking up the newest model every year 😅

[@alibaba-cp1fq]

is there a link to the wallpapers on the phones in the video? :D

[@flavoredchris]

great vid!

[@Alexlim0507]

I wonder if you can try to do the test for 20w and 30w with cooler attach ✌️✌️✌️ I guess it would make a huge difference

[@10karem]

Any test coming fro the MagSafe on the 15 pro max?

[@SilentMagick]

So should I stick with my 20w wall adapter and get the new 240w USB-C 2m cable? Or get the 30w wall adapter with the 240w cable for my iPhone 15 pro max?
