In this case, why does Apple insist on not providing fast charging technology for the iPhone even when most mobile phone manufacturers have joined the fast charging camp?
1. The body is thinner and lighter
In fact, the first answer can be drawn from the above content. As the battery capacity of mobile phones increases, the size of the battery will also increase accordingly. Large, but this goes against Apple’s pursuit of thinner and lighter bodies
2. The battery itself is small
It is also related to the small battery capacity of the iPhone itself. As we all know, the power of previous generations of iPhones has hovered around 2000mAh, and the charging time is completely within the acceptable range. Unlike mobile phones that often have 4 or 5000mAh, once there is no fast charging support, users need to spend a lot of time waiting. Therefore, there is no need to use fast charging technology with a battery as small as an iPhone.
3. For the sake of safety
Perhaps you will say that such a small amount of power is not even enough to "fit between teeth". With Apple's technology so powerful, can't the battery capacity be increased? In fact, the battery power of iPhone has been improving in recent years, but the improvement is small. This may be related to Apple's long-standing restraint on new technologies.
4. Save money
There is another reason that may surprise you, but it is not small - the reason why Apple does not use fast charging technology is to save money . Nowadays, there are generally two fast charging solutions. One is to increase the current of the charger, and the other is to increase the voltage of the charger. Of course, the premise is that the mobile phone can withstand the corresponding pressure. But as a result, the cost of the charger will also increase, which is obviously not cost-effective for Apple, which focuses on profits. Moreover, iPhone accessories are already very expensive. According to the theorem of wool coming from the sheep, the increase in charger cost will eventually be transferred to consumers, which will undoubtedly suppress consumers' desire to buy. So since there are risks in fast charging technology and users are not intolerable to iPhone power, why do they still spend money to develop fast charging technology?
5. Wireless charging
In addition, there is a greater possibility - Apple may be holding back a big move to develop wireless charging technology. It can be seen from the AirPods released last year that Apple is vigorously developing wireless charging equipment. Although fast charging technology was first obtained by the Android camp, in comparison, wireless charging has a stronger impact on people and has a higher technical content. If Apple can take the lead in wireless charging, it will undoubtedly be a very disruptive revolution in the history of mobile phone development, and Apple's status will be greatly enhanced. This news is not groundless. Apple has previously joined the WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) wireless charging alliance, which involves two main parts: mobile phones and mobile phone accessories. This means that Apple is very likely to add wireless charging to the next generation iPhone. Function.
It seems that it is understandable that the iPhone does not use fast charging technology.
