iPhone 17 launches super-fast USB-C charging with new generation 'Dynamic' power adapter

This year's iPhone 17 series not only attracts attention with its design and performance, but also makes its mark thanks to its superior fast charging capabilities compared to the previous generation. According to information from Apple, the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max all support high-speed USB-C charging, which can charge up to 50% of the battery in just about 20 minutes when using a compatible power adapter.

This is a significant step up from the iPhone 16 series, which took about 30 minutes to reach the same capacity. The 10-minute difference may seem small, but for busy users, it can bring a noticeable convenience in daily life.

However, one thing to note is that the ultra-thin iPhone Air model, despite possessing many advanced technologies, is only equipped with the same USB-C charging speed as the iPhone 16. This means that iPhone Air users still need about half an hour to reach 50% battery.

It's possible that Apple has carefully considered the balance between ultra-thin design and heat management, thereby accepting to keep the charging speed the same instead of pushing it faster like other high-end models.

To fully support the new fast charging technology, Apple also introduced the Dynamic 40W Power Adapter, a completely new accessory in the company's ecosystem. This charger costs $ 39 in the US and has been available for pre-order since September 10.

The most notable point is the ability to provide a maximum capacity of up to 60W in a compact design, suitable for users who are often on the go. True to its name Dynamic Power, the charger has the ability to flexibly distribute power, helping the iPhone 17 achieve the fastest charging speed in a short time.

However, users should also be aware that heat dissipation limitations mean that the charger can only maintain a maximum output of 60W for a certain period of time. If you need long-term stable charging performance, larger chargers with a capacity of 60W or more are more suitable.

Apple also emphasized that the new Dynamic charger is not the only option, and that most high-power USB-C power adapters on the market can take advantage of the iPhone 17's fast charging speed. However, the USB-C charging cable is still sold separately, meaning users will need to buy it separately if they don't already have a compatible accessory.

As planned, the iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, will be available for pre-order from September 12 and officially on shelves on September 19, promising to create a strong upgrade wave thanks to the combination of performance, design and superior fast charging capabilities./.
