Hello OldTimer95,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. This would really depend on the wattage rather than connection method. Here is a guide on how to Fast Charge your iPhone.


Fast charge your iPhone - Apple Support


"You can fast charge your iPhone 8 and later up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes.1

Fast charging works when you use an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

  • Apple 18W, 20W,2 29W, 30W, 35W, 61W, 67W, 87W, or 96W, or 140W USB-C Power Adapter
  • A comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)

If you're not sure which Apple Power Adapter you have, check the wattage on the top or bottom of the adapter:

A 20W USB-C Power Adapter with its certification label showing.
