2019 iPhones 'Likely' to Have Faster 18W Charger and Lightning to USB-C Cable in Box

Apple is widely expected to release three new iPhone models later this year, and each device will "likely" include a faster 18W USB-C power adapter and a Lightning to USB-C cable in the box, according to Japanese blog Mac Otakara (http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/rumor/entry-37401.html).

This rumor is a big "finally" if true. Despite adding fast charging support to the iPhone 8 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/) and newer, allowing for a 50 percent charge in just 30 minutes via USB-C Power Delivery, Apple has continued to include the same old 5W power adapter and Lightning to USB-A cable with iPhones for many years.





For now, to take advantage of fast charging, customers have to spend a total of $48 to purchase a standalone 18W USB-C power adapter (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7T2LL/A/18w-usb-c-power-adapter) and Lightning to USB-C cable (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MQUE2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-1-m) from Apple, although cheaper options are available on Amazon.





A bundled Lightning to USB-C cable would also mean that customers who paid at least $749 for a new iPhone would finally have a cable that connects with the latest MacBook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook/), MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/), and MacBook Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) models out of the box.





Last year, we heard a similar rumor about Apple bundling a faster 18W USB-C power adapter with 2018 iPhones, but it ended up being for 2018 <!---->iPad Pro<!----> models. This is the second time Mac Otakara has shared this rumor in as many months (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/22/2019-iphone-18w-charger/), so hopefully there is truth to it this time around.





Mac Otakara also rehashes several other rumors we've heard before, including the next iPhone XS (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-xs/) and <!---->iPhone XS<!----> Max having triple-lens rear cameras, and the next iPhone XR (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-xr/) having a dual-lens rear camera. All three iPhones are also expected to feature two-way wireless charging (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/04/01/two-way-wireless-charging-2019-iphones/) like the Galaxy S10.
