iPhone X charges slowly - how to increase the speed

If the battery of your iPhone X charges slowly, this does not necessarily have to be due to a defect in the battery. Often, incorrect settings or problems with the charging cable and power adapter are the cause.

This helps when iPhone X charges slowly

If you notice that the device's battery charges very slowly when charging your iPhone X, both a hardware problem and a software bug may be the cause.

1. If the charging speed has been reduced because your iPhone X is too hot, remove it from its protective case and put it in a cooler place.
2. If your iPhone X is deeply discharged and has turned off, the device will automatically switch to a throttled charging mode. To undo this change, please navigate to "Settings" > "Battery Status" and tap "High Performance".
3. In addition, the charging speed can be increased by putting your iPhone X in flight mode.
4. If the battery of the device continues to charge slowly, check whether there is a defect in the charging cable or the power plug and replace them as a test.

How to use Fast Charge on iPhone X

Since the iPhone X supports Fast Charge, you can charge its battery up to 50 percent of full battery capacity within 30 minutes. However, this is only possible with additional accessories in the form of a USB-C power adapter and a USB-C-to-Lightning cable. If you have an iPad, you can also charge the iPhone X faster with the iPad charger, as this has 12 watts compared to the iPhone's 5-watt power adapter.
