Apple's iPhone 8/8 Plus and iPhone X announced on September 12, 2017 in the US time will be the first in the seriesCompatible with wireless chargingOn the other hand, it is compatible with high-speed charging that can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes from the remaining charge by charging with Lightning cable. Although it is a high-speed charging function that seems to improve user friendliness in plain form, in fact it seems that it can not fully demonstrate its performance in the state just bought.

Wireless power supply standardQiAlthough it is a new type iPhone that is talking about correspondence to, in fact, the performance of cable charging is up. On the Apple product page you can see the statement "Up to 50% charge in 30 minutes".


The same description can be confirmed also on iPhone X specification page. However, according to the annotation of "9" written on the upper right of the letter ......


The result was "Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus trial hardware and software, Apple USB-C power adapter (29 W model A 1540, 71 W model A 1718, 87 W model A 1719) accessory, using Apple in August 2017 Test "according to the description. In other words, this function can not be used with the 12 W adapter included at the time of purchase, and the USB-C power adapter that Apple sells as an accessory,USB-C Lightning cableIt is possible to use fast charge for the first time by purchasing separately.


At the time of writing the article was not able to find a corresponding adapter on the Japanese site of Apple, but the selling price in the USA is $ 79 (about 8700 yen) for the 87W model and $ 69 (about 7,600 yen for the 61W model) ), 29 W model seems to be 49 dollars (about 5400 yen). To that extent you need to prepare a USB - C Lightning cable, so some extra expense is essential.


The fast charge test was carried out using the iPhone hardware which completely consumed the battery. Also, "Charging time varies depending on environmental conditions, actual results may be different", because it is a little worrisome, even with the 29 W USB-C adapter with the smallest capacity it will be at the level of "50% in 30 minutes" It is unknown whether equivalent performance is secured. In any case, it is the first time that the iPhone announced that it was compatible with high-speed charging, and I would like to try out what kind of performance is realized in the real machine.

In addition, although it was predicted that the fast charger will be bundled with the new iPhone in advance forecast, unfortunately this is a lost pattern.
