Why It Matters
Apple has long been criticized for implementing a slow charging policy on its smartphones.
iPhone 18 Pro Max surpassed Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with its ability to fully charge in less than 55 minutes. Here are the charging details of the new Apple flagship.
Apple's new flagship iPhone 18 Pro Max managed to attract attention in the technology world with its radical changes in battery technology and charging speed. According to independent tests conducted by Xiaobai's Tech Reviews, the charging performance of the device surpasses the rival model Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Equipped with a large battery with a capacity of 5400 mAh, the device reaches 34% in the first 10 minutes and reaches 55% in 15 minutes.
The new model, which reaches full charging capacity in less than 55 minutes in total, completely changes Apple's traditional slow charging policy and exhibits a performance that meets user expectations.
Battery Capacity and Charging Speed Increase
The perception that iPhones have slow charging speeds, which has been around for years in the technology world, is being destroyed with this new model. Apple's improvements in battery technology prove that while it offers a high capacity of 5400 mAh, it also strengthens the infrastructure required to quickly fill this capacity. Offering hours of use with just a few minutes of short-term charging, especially on days requiring intense use, becomes a decisive factor for professional users.
Industry Experts Appreciate Performance Improvement
While evaluating the test results, famous technology analyst Ice Universe emphasized that Apple has finally achieved this long-awaited speed improvement. These results, which were met with surprise throughout the industry, show that the iPhone 18 Pro Max is among the pioneers of the market not only in hardware power but also in charging management. The slow charging times seen in previous models have been replaced by a modern and competitive speed. This is seen as a source of great prestige for Apple, especially when compared to strong competitors such as the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
User Expectations Are Changing Rapidly
As competition increases in the smartphone market, the importance that users attach to charging speed is also increasing. Achieving a full charge time of under one hour is now considered a standard for high-end devices. Apple not only achieved this standard with the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but also seems to have struck a successful balance in maximizing charging efficiency while preserving battery health. It remains a matter of curiosity how other manufacturers will respond to this new speed level in the future.
