A $75 dollar Apple scam? Fast Charging on the iPhone 8 and XS (Speed Tests Included.)

I was a little surprised that Apple didn't include a fast-charge capable charger with the brand new iPhone 8. I'd thought that Apple would follow every other smartphone brand and include a fast charger in the box. It's not like we're paying a premium for their products anyways. I didn't think this was the case and took every different type of charger I had in my home and did a bunch of speed tests. Yep, Apple's out to get us. Check out what I've done in the last week: iPhone 8 Torture Test:    • How BRITTLE is the glass on the iPhon...   16 Differences between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8:    • 16 differences between the iPhone 7 a...   So if you don’t know what fast charge is, basically the new iPhone 8 and iPhone X will allow you to charge your device up to 50% from 0% in approx. 30 mins. On paper, this sounds like a GREAT feature. Apple’s website has a pretty decent explanation of fast charging. The page tells you that you’ll need a 29W, 61W or 87W USB-C Power Adapter or a 3rd party adapter that support USB-Power Delivery or USB-PD. Now this doesn’t sound offensive until you realize that Apple’s talking about using laptop chargers to fast charge your iPhone. The charger that comes with your iPhone DOES NOT provide fast charging for your new iPhone. So here’s what I did to answer that question. I basically filmed my iPhone 8 being charged by a variety of different chargers. I used the out of the box iPhone charger, a Samsung Galaxy s6/7 charger, an iPad Charger, a Anker 4port charger and finally my 12 inch MacBook pro charger. And yes, I had to go and buy a stupid USB-C to Lightning cable. Over the span of two days, I filmed, charged, and drained my battery a multitude of times. I gave each charger 30 minutes to do their best and yes, I know it’s not optimum to have the screen on but I needed to see the numbers change in the video. I did turn off the modem to offset the screen’s battery drain. I thought the screen would make a difference but at the end, the power drain comes out in the wash. With the normal 1 A plug, in 30 mins it brought my iPhone 8 Plus from dead to 15%. So this setup is out of the box and this is the best it can do. As a side note, Apple has also made it very hard to read the specs on the new adapter. They had to save costs on ink? Next up was my iPad Pro 9.7 inch charger at 2.1 A. That plug filled my iPhone up to 33% in 30 mins which is a noticeable increase. This trick has been around for awhile so it wasn’t new to me but it was neat to actually see it in action. I decided to give my Galaxy s6/s7 charger a go and oddly enough, it performed a bit better than the stock iPhone charger as it gave my iPhone a 17% charge in 30 mins despite being a 2 A charger. Then I used my Anker 4-Port charger which is rated to 2.4 A and it charged my iPhone 8 Plus from dead to 40% in 30 minutes. Definitely better than the regular iPhone charger but not 50% in 30 mins. At this point in time, I thought that maybe leaving the screen was way too power consuming but since I’d done the previous tests with the screen on, I had to finish the last test with the 29W laptop charger and USB-C to Lightning cable. In 30 mins, that setup gave my iPhone 8 a charge of 59%. So it wasn’t the screen. I will note that despite sounding negative for most of this video, seeing 59% in 30 mins on my iPhone was really cool. If you’re finding my videos helpful, consider getting your tech through the links in my description. None of the iPhone 8 stuff I’m doing, the drop tests, camera tests, comparisons and this video are sponsored. Every little bit helps me make more videos in the future. The only upside that I’ve discovered is that you can spend 22 dollars on at the Anker 4-port charger and get close to Fast Charge speeds. So is fast charging on the iPhone 8 a fallacy? Is it a lie? scam? I’m not arguing that the feature doesn’t work BUT it’s not going to work unless you spend $50 on the cheapest laptop charger and another $25 on the cable. Its close to $100 if you’re in Canada. That’s a new low for me coming from Apple. I don’t mind paying Apple’s luxury tax on their goods. The motto of “spend more money, get better products” is usually true when it comes to Apple products. But nickel and dim-ing us on fast charging? Not cool. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
