Apple's upcoming iPhone and iPad refresh for 2018 is rumored to take advantage of fast-charging out of the box, and that means, if true, it'll come with a USB-C charger.
Today we're seeing photos of an 18W USB-C charger that belongs to the iPhone XI and iPad Pro 2018, according to a rumored from Asian supply chain site Macotakara. It looks a lot like the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL charging brick.
The unverified charger you see could be a third-party fake, warns 9to5mac, but the size does perfectly fit in between existing the 5W iPhone and 10W iPad chargers.
iPhone XI, iPhone 9 and iPad Pro 2018 should include an 18W charger and lightning-to-USB-C cable to support fast-charging without the need to buy anything extra.
Why it'll change your charging habits
Fast charging is already possible with the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, but the two necessary accessories don't come in the box.
You'll need both a Lightning-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C charger – using bulky 12-inch MacBook or MacBook Pro charger always works, too.
The benefits are pretty great. You can fast-charge a newer iPhone from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes. It's a long-overdue replacement to Apple's old 5W charger.
