Apple lists exact gear for iPhone Duo fast charge
Wired and wireless charging speeds rely on specific 60W and 35W hardware respectively, with Apple and Anker adapters cited.
By Ivan Dvorak ·
Apple has published the specific hardware requirements for the iPhone Duo to reach its maximum charging speeds. The company's support documentation outlines the exact cables and power adapters needed for wired and wireless charging.
For the fastest wired speed, the phone reaches 50 percent battery in about 20 minutes. Apple states this requires the USB-C cable included in the box and a compatible power adapter. The company lists its own 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max as one option, which was priced at $34 at the time of the report.
Buyers can also select a third-party adapter rated for 60W or more. Apple specifies that such chargers must use Adjustable Voltage Supply and support USB Power Delivery 3.2. The 9to5Mac author noted that third-party options often offer better value, singling out the Anker 100W charging brick as a top pick that also works with Macs and iPads.
Wireless charging is slower but still fast. Apple says the iPhone Duo can reach 50 percent in about 30 minutes wirelessly. This requires either a MagSafe Charger, listed at $30, or an adapter rated at 35W or higher. The company points to compatible Apple and Anker adapters for this setup. Those wanting more cable length can use Apple's official 2-meter USB-C cable, which is available at a discount.
The 9to5Mac writer added that Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter remains a good deal for anyone preferring a first-party option. The article closes by asking readers to share their own fast-charging setups in the comments.
