<div style="display: table; font-size: 15.84px; width: 288px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is your iPhone charging slowly? Does it  take forever before it gets<br />
fully charged? Worry no more as these tips can boost your device<br />
battery charging time once applied.<br />
<br />
One of the advantages of Android phones over iPhones is the fact that<br />
most new Android phones comes with built-in fast charging technology<br />
that gives the phones quick charge within few minutes or hours but no<br />
iPhone currently supports this (as at the time of writing this<br />
article). Maybe we will see this feature soon on new iPhones. Here is<br />
3 simple tips to make your iPhone charge faster.<br />
<br />
TIPS TO MAKE IPHONE CHARGE FASTER<br />
<br />
1. Make Use an iPad charger<br />
<br />
The iPad charger is built differently from the iPhone charger. It<br />
supplies 12W and 2.1A of power compared to the iPhone charger, which<br />
carries just 5W and 1A of power. Also, the iPad charger is compatible<br />
with all Apple mobile devices.<br />
<br />
2. Charge your iPhone in Low Power Mode<br />
<br />
This mode reduces the performance of the device and prolongs the<br />
battery life. When charging with the Low Power mode on, the charging<br />
speed increases.<br />
<br />
3. Turn on Airplane Mode<br />
<br />
This turns off all forms of wireless connections on your device.<br />
Charging your iPhone with Airplane Mode turned on means that you will<br />
not get any notifications whatsoever. However, that’s but a small<br />
price to pay to charge your iPhone faster, isn’t it?<br />
<br />
Once you apply any or all of the above tips, you will notice a<br />
dramatic improvement in charging your iPhone.   </span></div>
