The iPhone 18 Pro Max achieves 50% battery charge in just 15 minutes and reaches 34% in only 10 minutes, with a full charge accomplished in 55 minutes. Notably, the charging process does not stop until 76 minutes, showcasing its advanced capabilities. In comparison, the previous model, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, got to 38% in the same time period and took 72 minutes to reach full charge, drawing a peak of 35W. The new iPhone 18 Pro Max, however, can peak at a staggering 52W.
This significant improvement in charging speed can be attributed to the device's larger battery and its state-of-the-art 2nm chip, which enhances energy efficiency. Apple fans will be pleased to see that the company is finally placing a strong emphasis on charging performance, a feature that has been lacking in previous models.
Moreover, when compared to competitor devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which achieves 51% charge in 15 minutes and 100% in just 43 minutes with a smaller battery, the iPhone still holds its own but reflects how competition can influence innovations in speed.
