Hands-on: Best fast charger options for iPhone 8 and iPhone X [Video]

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/fast-charger-iphone-8-5w-12w-29w.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>The iPhone 8 and the upcoming iPhone X both support fast charging via Apple’s 29W USB-C adapter (http://amzn.to/2ydu7O5) and USB-C to Lightning Cable (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1-m?fnode=01557e1c8b6cf1135514c24c526b1b31342198cdb588a0986993bdff6c73a6a164faa81751bf2fbb0ff6343bd53330d845a9e49fd99e38d53bb563884238a113919513e88da51988e222ab60712e1efacd23c09fed9c326418b7f8209559cd9e). Apple says that by using fast charging, your iPhone can charge up to 50% in as little as 30 minutes.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the official first party charging accessories — its 29W USB-C Power Adapter ($49), and its 1-meter USB-C to Lightning Cable ($25) — cost nearly $75 combined. That’s a lot of money to spend on a fast charging solution, especially for one that isn’t exceedingly faster than Apple’s own 12W adapter + a regular USB to Lightning cable.</p>
<p>The good news is that earlier this week Apple noted that third-party power adapters that meet the proper USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) spec would work as well. That means that acceptable third-party power adapters, like Anker’s 30W PowerPort (http://amzn.to/2xBE72h) or Aukey’s 29W Amp Duo USB Wall Charger (http://amzn.to/2xAY74U) can save you money. In fact, you can buy two of these adapters for less than the price of a single Apple 29W USB-C Power Adapter.</p>
<p>But how do these third-party chargers really stack up to Apple’s own solution? Is it worth going-third party to save $25 or so? The answer, after many hours of testing, is yes. Watch our hands-on video walkthrough for more details. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/02/whats-the-best-fast-charger-for-iphone-8-and-iphone-x/#more-502153" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=502153&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=502153&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><div class="feedflare">
