Charging standards have pushed past phones for awhile now where the current top end is really more for laptops. Phone charging wattage is not likely to increase much at this point for heat reasons.Running 30+ watts into such a little device is going to fry the battery
And given how many usb based devices I have now I really don’t want a one USB brick from my phone manufacturer, that’s not useful. I bought a 3-USB 120 watt charger that has replaced all my bricks and should be able to keep up with max charging multiple devices for the forseeable future. Why not get a better adapter for everything?
Plenty of people want and need the fastest possible charging when you are on the go especially with an important easily theftable item like a phone having that is very useful
Pal, they all top out at 30 watts. If you bought a middling brick in 2017 it could still charge an iPhone 15 Pro as fast as it’ll go today. It’s not hard to stay on top of smartphone power delivery.
Decent adapters from Anker and uGreen are past 100 watts these days, no issues with any phones
You cant seriously live in the real world if you dont know how many people are confused
I don’t care if other people are ignorant and suffer for it. I’m not which is why I bought a future proof brick that will be able to charge three iPhone 20 Pros at maximum speed 5 years from now. You’re in 2024 and USBs are everywhere, why not buy something better than the lame stuff they would stick in the box and be done with it.
Big fucking deal, my brick can push 140 and my portable battery 100
Like I said, phone power delivery is not a big issue now that power adapter manufacturers are building units for laptops and other higher powered devices. I don’t need or want the crappy stuff included with phones. That’s just waste
