The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus take ridiculously long to fully charge up. But here's how you can fast charge both devices using a few actions.

Learn to Fast Charge iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus and Top Up Your Battery Faster than Ever Before

Despite having large batteries, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus ship with the same old measly Apple 5W power adapter. Not only it charges both the smartphones at an extremely slow pace, but it seems almost criminal at this point why Apple even ships these chargers with such expensive phones. Thankfully, you can fast charge the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as both smartphones are capable of accepting a charge of up to 10W. So, without further ado, here's what you need to do to speed things up.

Invest in a Faster Charger & Better Cable

Invest in a faster charger, and this is extremely important. Either you can opt for Apple's very own 10W or 12W power adapter, or you can go ahead with other options from brands like Anker, AUKEY, etc. Nonetheless, I'm gonna list down the options that work well with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

You can opt for a desktop charger as well if you're planning to charge your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus at home every single time. But they lie on the expensive side of the spectrum. On the flip side, you can quickly charge your devices using a power bank that supports up to 2.4A per port. Here are the best options you can avail right now.

Also make sure you're using the original Lightning cable to charge up your device. If you're using a third-party one, then please make sure it carries a 'Made for iPhone' badge. It will guarantee you the best possible charging rate and won't damage your device while charging either. Make sure you buy short cables too. Here are a couple of options which I highly recommend.

Make Use of Airplane Mode

The iPhone has a lot of sensors that can hammer down battery and the speed at which it charges up. So, whenever you're plugged into a charger, bring up the Control Center and tap that Airplane Mode button on the left. This technique applies even if you're using the stock charger and cable with your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.

That's all there is to it. You now know how to fast charge iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
