iPhone 18 Pro Needs 60W SPR AVS Chargers to Hit 50% in 15 Minutes

1 articles · Updated · Boy Genius Report · Sep 19

Summary

  • Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max can reach 50% charge in 15 minutes, but only with 60W-or-higher adapters that support SPR AVS rather than just matching wattage on paper.
  • SPR AVS lets the charger and phone negotiate the right voltage for Apple’s top charging speeds, and the standard remains less common than PPS across many otherwise capable USB-C chargers.
  • Four recommended models were identified: UGREEN’s 65W Nexode Air, Google’s 67W Pixel Flex Dual Port, Belkin’s 67W UltraCharge Retractable, and Baseus’s 100W PicoGo Pro AH22.
  • Prices range from about $39.99 to $60, with trade-offs including single-port portability, dual-port convenience, a built-in cable, or enough 100W output to charge a laptop alongside broader device support.

Insights

Apple promises a 15-minute fast charge, but is this strict new SPR AVS protocol secretly forcing users to buy entirely new accessories?
Could plugging a second device into your new multi-port adapter secretly sabotage your iPhone 18 Pro's record-breaking charging speed?
