When using a charger with >27W, what is the power given to each item?

When reading about the Magsafe Duo Charger, it says that when you use a >=27W charger that it will supply 14W to the phone. Is the rest of the power (~13W?) sent to the watch side?

Also, what is the power to count as quick charge for the watch? Is it 18W based on the articles about how to fast charge your apple watch?

It sounds like to me that you can get really close to the suggested 15W of wireless fast charge on the iphone, but you will not get all the way to the wireless fast charge on the series8+ultra.

Ideally Apple would be upfront about what power is needed for quick charge, and what happens if you don't meet the power expected (do you just not charge as fast, or does it regulate you back to 'normal' charging speed.)

Thoughts?

pretty much yes, apart from


Watt  is like how fast your car can drive, but the speed limit is how fast your car do drive


the iphone draw as much current as it was build to use when charging, the fact that

a charger can provide a lot more just means it's not having its full capacitive used


so if your watch only draws say 8watt then the iphone gets the rest.
