iPhone 16 Series Offers 45W USB-C Fast Charging and 8GB RAM: Check Details

Highlights
  • iPhone 16 series’ 45W fast charging will be 50% faster than the iPhone 15 lineup.
  • The iPhone 16 lineup will be available, starting September 20.

The iPhone 16 lineup, comprising the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature fast charging capabilities of up to 45W, based on certification from the China Quality Certification Centre. This will mark a 50% boost over the iPhone 15 series. Here are the details.

iPhone 16 Series Gets Faster Charging

A user on X has also suggested that the iPhone 16 models are tested at 5-15 volts and 3 amps, amounting to 45W of power. In comparison, the iPhone 15 series maxes out at 29W fast charging.

However, it is worth noting that Apple remained silent on the topic of wired fast charging. This isn’t unusual, as the company generally avoids discussing it. In fact, Apple has a history of not revealing the battery capacities of its iPhones, so this omission isn’t exactly unexpected.

That said, fast charging is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to the iPhone 16 series—there’s more to unpack.

iPhone 16 Series Boast 8GB of RAM

Just like with wired charging and battery capacity, Apple’s staying tight-lipped on the RAM specs. But don’t worry, we’ve got some juicy info for you. A fresh report from MacRumors, in collaboration with iSWUpdates, reveals that the iPhone 16 series is rocking 8GB of RAM.

For the iPhone 16 Pro series, the RAM remains the same as the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. But here’s the twist: the standard iPhone 16 models—the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus—got a 2GB upgrade over the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.

This is mainly to accommodate Apple Intelligence features, which require a minimum of 8GB of RAM. The iPhone 16 series was launched recently and will be available, starting September 20. The pre-booking is now live.
