A new detail has emerged about Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 15, less than a month before the tech giant officially disclosed the new device.

An information spreader (leaker) claims that the iPhone 15 will support charging speeds of up to 35W much faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 14, which has a charging speed of only 20W.

This means that this upcoming smartphone can be filled from 0 to 100 percent in just one hour, saving valuable time for users in a hurry.

Experts agree that the iPhone 15 which is said to be revealed on September 12 or 13, will also have a new USB-C charging port.

Apple has sold a USB-C 35W power adapter for 69 pounds, which may be packaged with a flagship phone when it finally launches.

This news was revealed by 9to5Mac, citing an 'industrial source', although it is not yet clear whether 35W charging will be supported by all iPhone 15 models.

It is hoped that Apple will reveal four variations of the standard iPhone 15 model, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

"According to people familiar with this matter, it is reported that the iPhone 15 supports up to 35W charging," the report said.

"At least some new iPhone 15 models can be charged up to 35W, which should allow for faster charging speeds on the new phone," the report added.

35W (watt) refers to the amount of power given to the phone battery but if the phone does not support this charging rate, then charging will not be faster and will only waste energy.

Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro is limited to 27W charging, so it takes about two hours for full charging and connecting it to 35W charging won't speed up charging.

However, the 35W-supporting iPhone 15 will take only one hour to reach 0 to 100 percent charging. However, this is still simple compared to some of the smartphones made by Apple's Asian competitors.

For example, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra supports charging up to 45W, which allows users to charge batteries from 0 to 100 percent in less than an hour.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer is said to be able to charge from 0 to 100 percent in just nine minutes.

Analysts and leakers generally agree that the iPhone 15 will be the first iPhone with a USB-C charging port.

Apple has switched from a charging design, in particular the so-called Lightning, recognized from eight pins, to USB-C due to EU laws.

Europe's new legislation aims to make a single charging design a common standard and ultimately reduce electronic waste.

Apple was actually forced to make changes to this design because of the law (although it could actually produce iPhones with Lightning ports if they were sold in countries outside the European Union).

Other details about Apple's new flagship have slowly leaked based on internal knowledge and clues from "implication units" (accurate models given to third parties to design their phone accessories).

The iPhone 15 is likely to have a curved edge, a non-carat steel titanium frame, a smaller frame surrounding the edges (bezels), and Dynamic Island on all four models.

It is not known how much the iPhone 15 costs, although analysts have said that the two most expensive models iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max would be more expensive than its predecessor.

Mark Gurman, a US information spreader and Apple expert, argues that Apple's launch event for the iPhone 15 will take place in just over three weeks on September 12 or 13.

He said he had been informed (by unnamed sources) that the phone would be sold on September 22, meaning Apple would "get about a week of selling the iPhone 15 in its fiscal fourth quarter."

Apple has yet to announce any launch events, although teasers and invites may be delivered in the coming days.

Fans certainly hope Apple doesn't have to delay launches until October due to manufacturing issues, as a US analyst claims.
