As we all know, now Apple mobile phone configuration in all aspects is not too short board, the screen finally uses 120Hz adaptive high brush, memory is also pulled up, but has been criticized by users of the fast charging problem has not been sincere enough. Although the iPhone13 series already supports 18W "fast charging", the charging power can also come to 27W under the extreme circumstances, but for vivo's current mass production of 200W is simply not worth mentioning, more interestingly, OPPO released the first vooc product in March 2014, has achieved a maximum charging power of 5v/4A of 20W. Let's talk about why Apple does not do high-power fast charging.
First, unwilling to give up the lightning interface
You may find that the mobile phones that now support fast charging are Type-C interfaces, only Apple is still adhering to the lightning interface, and this interface was born in 2012, which is based on the USB 2.0 standard, and the theoretical maximum charging power is 30W, which is still relatively advanced at that time. But at present, it is quite out, fast charging power is doomed to fail to break through, and Apple's side of main does not seem to have the intention of updating the interface, on the other hand, it does not conform to the user's use of the Type-C interface, and even at the expense of provoking lawsuits in Europe. That is to say, if Apple wants to increase the charging power, the best thing to do is to replace the charging interface.
However, Apple's delay in changing the interface also has its own considerations, one is the safety issue, if the technology is not passed, high-power charging may bring the danger of mobile phone explosion, Samsung has a lesson in this regard, coupled with Apple's global product strength and regional laws and regulations, Apple easily dare not increase the fast charge power. The second is that the data line manufacturers have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing fees to Apple every year to be able to produce lightning data lines, if you switch to the type-c interface for fast charging, it means that you make less money, and you have to pay patent fees to others, can Apple really give up?
Second, it may also be related to Apple's "environmental protection"
We all know that starting from the iPhone 12, Apple decided that the iPhone phone will not come with a charger after that, and if the user needs a charger, please pay another 149 yuan. At the launch of the iPhone 12, Apple gave the explanation that there are already more than 2 billion Apple power adapters in the world, so they decided not to come with chargers. Although from the charging protocol point of view, the iPhone is compatible with PD chargers, so if you have a multifunctional charger, or a charger that can replace the data cable, then charging the iPhone is no problem.
Is it possible that not sending a charger coupled with insisting on using the lightning interface is a cover-up excuse for Apple not to develop fast charging? Because most of the users who replace the new iPhone are themselves apple old users, the lightning interface and charger that are already in use can indeed not be replaced because of the new mobile phone, which looks very reasonable, but in fact, Apple reduces costs in the name of "environmental protection", of course, it does have a superficial effect. Can't say that because the user has a charger in his hand, he does not increase the fast charging speed just to let the old charger continue to play an environmental role? This may be the stifling of innovation, in the name of environmental protection for profit, let users bear the cost of charging time, do you think it is reasonable?
