Alongside wireless charging, the iPhone 8 and iPhone X support a new feature Apple has dubbed fast charge. Apple states that you can achieve 50% battery with just 30 minutes of charge time. Wireless charging is a convenient way to charge, but the speed is exceptionally slow. Wirelessly, you can charge with 5W (soon to be upgraded to 7.5W later this year). That is the same as Apple’s slowest USB power adapter. If you are looking for a quicker way to fuel up, fast charge is your best option. Of course, it isn’t nearly that simple and you must use a compatible cable and power adapter to make it happen. We went hands-on with several of the best power adapters to fast charge iPhone 8 and iPhone X. To use fast charging on your iPhone 8 or iPhone X, you need two components. A Lightning to USB-C cable, and a USB-C wall charger. 1. AUKEY USB Fast Charging Power Adapter - Price: $23 Bring home this versatile AMP PD Duo to charge your iPhones.

We knew the 10th anniversary edition of Apple’s influential iPhone was going to be something special. The iPhone X sports a big and beautiful, edge-to-edge, bezel-less screen, packs some serious power under the hood, and boasts a dual-lens camera.
