Usb C Charger vs Usb Apple/iPhone

Apple chargers and USB-C chargers are both types of chargers that can be used to charge electronic devices, but there are some key differences between the two.

Usb C Charger vs Usb Apple

Apple chargers are specifically designed to work with Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. They use a proprietary connector called a Lightning connector, which is different from the USB-C connector used by most other devices. Apple chargers also use a specific charging technology called "Apple Fast Charge" which can charge an iPhone 8 or later to 50% in 30 minutes.

USB-C chargers, on the other hand, use the USB-C connector which is becoming a standard in the industry. USB-C chargers can be used to charge a wide range of devices that have a USB-C connector, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops from different manufacturers. They can support a higher power delivery, up to 100 watts, which allows them to charge larger devices at a faster rate and also support different charging standards such as Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge.

In summary, Apple chargers are specifically designed to work with Apple devices and use a proprietary connector, while USB-C chargers are a more universal option that can be used to charge a wide range of devices that have a USB-C connector.

Usb C vs Usb Charging Speed iPhone

The charging speed between USB and USB-C can vary depending on a few factors, such as the power of the charger and the cable being used. However, when it comes to charging an iPhone, generally speaking, USB-C charging may be faster than traditional USB charging.

The iPhone models that have a lightning connector, supports USB power delivery (PD) which allow for faster charging, but the maximum charging speed is limited to 18W. With a USB-C to lightning cable, you can connect the iPhone to a USB-C power adapter that supports USB-PD to charge your device faster.

On the other hand, when using a traditional USB charger, the charging speed will be limited to 5 watts, which is the maximum power delivery supported by USB. This means that charging an iPhone with a USB charger may take longer than charging it with a USB-C charger that supports USB-PD.

It's worth noting that, since the release of the iPhone 8 and later models, Apple has included fast charging capabilities, meaning that these devices can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes when using an Apple 18W or higher power adapter and a USB-C to lightning cable.

In summary, when charging an iPhone, using a USB-C charger that supports USB-PD and a USB-C to lightning cable will result in faster charging speeds than using a traditional USB charger.
