Does using the iPad charger with iPhone save time? Figures in pictures!

The iPhone and iPad chargers do not
do not provide the same power, that of the iPhone provides 5 Watts, while
that the thicker iPad charger provides 10 Watts. There is evenand
12 Watt model that we talked about here.

So, usethe iPhone charger to charge the iPad takes
much more timethan with the original charger. But knowing
this, is it possible to charge an iPhone much faster with a
iPad charger? Everyone who has tested knows this:the
answer is yes, but it depends on the iPhone versions. Ryan Jones,
a former Apple employee, performed several charging tests, quantified and
shared the result a few weeks ago, here they are also with
our measurements:

First of all, it should be noted that the gain obtained with the iPad charger on a
iPhone is only effective for modelsfrom iPhone 6 and 6
Plus. Furthermore, this does not pose a particular problem for this
which is safety or wear of the machine, it takes the current
which she is able to use for her recharge. Apple also markets
iPad chargers in 10 Watts and 12 Watts with mention of compatibility
iPhone :

Here are the numerical results for those who had any doubts:

So, he measured that an iPhone 6s Plus, which is known to charge
slowly given the significant capacity of its battery, reached 20
% dump11 minutes fasterwith a charger for
iPad. One1 hour recharge, the iPhone 6s Plus displays
60% charge with iPad charger, against40% with
the original iPhone charger.

We also note that the offers of chargers with several USB outputs
are increasingly offering charging powers adapted to both
to iPhone and iPad.

And we continued these measurements by measuring the charge intensities
taken by the iPhone 6s Plus with its 5W charger and a 10W charger, here is the
result, the intensity delivered and used by the iPhone 6s Plus is good
superior when using an iPad charger (first
illustration):

• 1.22 A delivered with the iPad charger

• Less than 1A for the original charger, at the same time, with the same
  machine :

If you have an iPad charger at home and a recent iPhone, here's how
save a little time recharging!

Who got into the habit of using a more powerful charger?
