Check out this video that tests how fast the iPhone 14 Pro will charge when using various Apple chargers.
The new iPhone 14 Pro features a 3200mAh battery, slightly larger than the 3095mAh battery in the iPhone 13 Pro. Unfortunately, Apple no longer includes a charger with its new smartphones, so you'll need to decide on which power adapter to purchase alongside it. To make the decision easier, we've tested six different chargers, including the original 5W power adapter and more powerful options like the 12W, 20W, 30W, 140W, and MagSafe chargers.
Here are the results:
● 5W Power Adapter: 03:28:38
● 12W Power Adapter: 01:57:00
● MagSafe Cable with 20W Power Adapter: 02:03:40
● 20W Power Adapter: 01:39:37
● 30W Power Adapter: 01:37:47
● 140W Power Adapter: 01:37:27
We've summarized our results in the handy chart below. There is barely a difference between the 20W, 30W, and 140W adapters, so given the smaller size of the 20 watt adapter, we'd stick with that. Also, note that the speed of the fast chargers tapers off as you get above 80%, compared to the slower chargers which are more linear. MagSafe results were disappointing, so if you are in a rush, opt for a hardwired charger.
