  • Inside iPhone 8: new 29 watt Fast Charging like iPad Pro, using USB-PD

    Hi, have you guys tested that it actually charges at 29W? There's a good reason no Android phone charges at anything close to that rate, especially for an extended period of time, even though there are a bunch of different standards on Android, none does more than about 20W. The Pixel XL "only" does 18W, and the smaller Pixel, 15W. And Android phones generally have larger batteries too.

    Just from a glance at the quoted rate of 50% in a half hour, doesn't square off with the measured rate of about 34% in the same time for an iPad pro 10.5, whose battery is over 4.4 times as large. (see http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2641585). That measurement is consistent also with my experience with the iPad pro 12.9 charging at 29W measured with an USB-C meter.
