How much longer does it take to charge a IPhone with a 6.6 ft cable vs 3.6 cable. This is when using official Apple Chargers . Asking for new cable for Mother’s Day. Trying to decide on 6 1/2 Ft vs 3 1/2 ft. Thanks for any feedback.
Hi VDianne,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with your iPhone and charging. It sounds like you want to know if it will take longer to to charge an iPhone with a 6.5 foot cable. There should be no discernible difference.
However, if you have an iPhone 8 or newer and it didn't come with a USB-C charger and a USB-C to lightning cable, you can purchase those pieces separately and get the benefit of fast charging. Check out: Fast charge your iPhone.
Have a fantastic day!
can you buy a USB -C adapter and a lightening cable that will charge all of the following: iPhone 8 Plus , IPad Mini 5 and IPad Pro 10.5 inch . I know you can buy one to fast charge each item separately. Do not want to buy three fast chargers. Thank You
If you are asking if you can plug them all in at once - No.
If you are asking will the cable and power supply be able charge all 3 of those separately - Yes
They will all be compatible with the same type of power supply and cable.
I’m sorry . I worded previous post wrong. I’m asking about Fast Charging all three Apple Products with Same power adapter and lightening cable. All separately but not having to buy one for each of three products.
But do you use a Fast Charger.? I’m looking for something to charge iPhone and IPad faster if I need to. Also another question please. I read you can use a Power Adapter from IPad. 10W adapter to charge a IPhone faster. Is this true ?? If so will it hurt battery or IPhone. Thanks for your help. Just discovered this forum again. Forgot about it. I’m a senior woman and forgetful. Lol.
The MacBook Pro is an 85w charger and I have a couple of 18w chargers. Yes, they are both fast chargers.
You are wanting to use one power adapter and then cables and adapters to plug them all into the power adapter at once?
No. I am asking if I can buy One Lightening does and One USB- C adapter and use it to charge all three items Separately.
Yes, I do that all the time. I even charge my iPad Pro from my MacBook Pro charger.
Charging time with longer cord
