However, the iPhone 8 and later, all models of the iPad Pro, and the most recent iPad Air and iPad mini models support fast charging when connected to higher wattage power adapters. You may have an older one of these around, or you can buy a new one. Apple has bundled with iOS devices or sold 10-watt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MD836LL\/A\/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">12-watt<\/a> ($19), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MU7T2LL\/A\/18w-usb-c-power-adapter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">18-watt<\/a> ($29, USB-C) power adapters, and the company has also produced 29-watt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MR2A2LL\/A\/30w-usb-c-power-adapter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30-watt<\/a> ($49), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MRW22LL\/A\/61w-usb-c-power-adapter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">61-watt<\/a> ($69), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MNF82LL\/A\/87w-usb-c-power-adapter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">87-watt<\/a> ($79) USB-C power adapters for Mac laptops. Plug your compatible iPhone or iPad into one of these chargers with an appropriate cable (for a USB-C charger, you\u2019ll need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MQGJ2AM\/A\/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1-m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USB-C to Lightning Cable<\/a>, $19), and it will charge significantly more quickly. Look for a wattage rating on the adapter itself, or multiply the output volts and amps together to get watts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7468\" src=\"https:\/\/macworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/need-to-charge-your-iphone-or-ipad-more-quickly-get-a-higher-wattage-power-adapter-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/need-to-charge-your-iphone-or-ipad-more-quickly-get-a-higher-wattage-power-adapter-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/macworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/need-to-charge-your-iphone-or-ipad-more-quickly-get-a-higher-wattage-power-adapter-2.jpg 980w, https:\/\/macworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/need-to-charge-your-iphone-or-ipad-more-quickly-get-a-higher-wattage-power-adapter-3.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, ((min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)) 480px, ((min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px)) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\"><\/p>\n<p>(Featured image by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@matthewhenry?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matthew Henry<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/power?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By default, most iPhones and iPads ship with Apple\u2019s tiny 5-watt power adapters.
