Slow Charging Speeds
Have you noticed a drop in wireless charging speeds after updating to iOS 13? If so, you’re not alone. But unlike many of the other problems on this list, it appears that this is actually a feature instead of a bug. Here’s some more information.
- iOS 13.1 actually slashes charging speeds for Qi wireless chargers that aren’t approved by the Wireless Power Consortium.
- As a result of that switch, knockoff or unbranded chargers may see speeds around 5W instead of the normal 7.5W rate for approved chargers.
- If you’ve been impacted by this, there isn’t much you can do besides buying a charger that supports 7.5W speeds.
