Fast Charging iPhone with 2020 MacBook Air

I have an iPhone 11 and a 2020 MacBook Air. Will the USB-C ports on my MacBook fast-charge my iPhone. Specifically, will they charge it as fast as an Apple 18 W USB-C power adapter? Are the ports on my MacBook USB-C power delivery ports?

Hello Nicholas Ryan,


It sounds like you are asking if your MacBook Air would fast charge your iPhone. To fast charge your iPhone you need to connect your Lightning Cable to a higher wattage charger, like the 18 W USB-C charger for your MacBook Air. The USB-C port on your MacBook Air will not fast charge your iPhone. Check out this link to learn more about fast charge for your iPhone.
