iPhone 16 Pro Max Charging Speeds Analyzed: Efficiency and Performance
The iPhone 16 Pro Max showcases impressive charging capabilities, achieving 31.86W speeds with a 65W charger and maintaining efficient rates with MagSafe technology. Testing reveals that the Pro Max hits 50% charge in just 26 minutes! Here's a breakdown of wireless and wired charging performance, alongside comparisons to last year's models.
Wired Charging Experience
Chargelab's tests show the iPhone 16 Pro Max evolving in speed. When hooked to official Apple chargers, it reaches 30.55W, handling power effectively as the charger capabilities increase. The charging process starts strong but tapers off: the initial burst hits 28W, falling through various stages until the final charge, which takes up to two hours and 20 minutes for a full capacity.
Wireless Charging Capabilities
Wireless performance is noteworthy with Apple’s new MagSafe. Although slightly below the advertised 25W, it achieves respectable 18.18W. Third-party chargers hold the rear with a mere 6.94W, showcasing the efficiency variations in wireless charging technology.
Reverse Wireless Charging Results
Although the capability exists, reverse wireless charging scarcely delivers with only 1.26W—not ideal for recharging accessories on-the-go.
