Hello Community,
When I charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max using the Apple’s 20W charger and type-C cable provided, it takes too long to fully charge the phone. On an average, my phone charges around 90% in 02:30 hrs which is a deadly slow charging. Can anyone advise if there’s any specific setting in the phone or any additional accessory that I need to buy to make the phone charging fast?
TIA
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
Apple says you can fast charge an iPhone to 50% in thirty minutes. After 50% to preserve the health of the battery and avoid unnecessary heat, the charge speed will slow. 2.5 hours to 90% may not be unusual, depending at what level you started the charge?
This is Apple's document about Fast Charging iPhone --> Fast charge your iPhone - Apple Support
On another note, when Fast Charging first came out, it wasn't an available option everywhere, such as India. Whether that has changed or not, I don't know as I'm in the US.
Thanks. Is there any Apple’s document that confirms it? As far as I read on various forums, slow charging is because of limitations of 20W charger and the speed offered by the Type-C cable. With evolution of technology, these days there’re phones that charges 100% in 30 minutes, then why can’t an iPhone?

No. The charger is actually built into the phone. The charging plug is what delivers power to the phone. You can use just about any higher wattage charger you want, but the phone regulates the charge, so it won't charge any faster with a higher wattage plug.

For instance if I buy “35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter“ (35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter - Apple (IN)), will it help in little fast charging?
Did you not read what I posted? The answer is NO, it won't charge your iPhone ANY FASTER. Waste your money if you want, but the charging time will not get faster at all.
iPhone charges very slowly with 20W charger
