1 “Borderline Criminal” Charging Times
The iPhone XS and XS Max may have slightly shorter battery lives than the iPhone X, despite featuring apparently better battery life expectations (according to Apple).
Similarly, many users are complaining about the mediocre charging times provided by the standard 5W Lightning brick. That’s particularly true because the new iPhones support USB-C fast charging. Unfortunately, while there is a fix for this issue, it’s the hardest to wholeheartedly recommend.
Basically, you’ll need to spend more money and use a different charger. While we recommend sticking with a first-party Apple Lightning to USB-C cable, you can opt for a third-party USB-C power adapter. You should only buy one from trustworthy brands or retailers, however.
