Base iphone 16 battery charges slower than expected with original 20W charger

hello, lately I've noticed that my iPhone is behaving strangely when I charge it and it's streaming much slower than expected, for example in 30 minutes it charges to about 32% which seems very slow to me. Are there other people with a similar problem and what could be the reason




iPhone 16, iOS 18

Then it’s time to contact Apple support. An iPhone 16 should charge to 50% in 30 minutes using a 20 watt charger. After that it slows down, but should take a total of about 2 hours to reach full charge.


Best way: 

  • Install the Apple Support app on your iPhone or iPad - you can contact support directly from the app, and the tech will have (with your permission) access to diagnostic data on your device



Other options:

(Note that both of the above have options to receive a callback or chat)

Are you using a high quality power source: Apple, Griffin, Anker, etc?
