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

18W USB-C power adapter bundled with 2018 iPad Pro, also sold separately</center>
This rumor is a big "finally" if true. Despite adding fast charging support to the
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 and
Lightning to USB-C cable 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,
MacBook Air, and
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, 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 and <!---->iPhone XS<!----> Max having triple-lens rear cameras, and the next
iPhone XR having a dual-lens rear camera. All three iPhones are also
expected to feature two-way wireless charging like the Galaxy S10.
