iPhone 15 surpasses Samsung for the first time in battery and charging speed

For nearly a decade, Samsung phones have outperformed iPhones in charging speeds. But 2023 could be the year the iPhone finally leapfrogs Samsung with its fastest charging capabilities.

Thanks to the USB-C standard, Samsung phones have long outpaced iPhones stuck on 5W charging until recently. Even after Apple increased to 15W, Samsung offered 40W+ charging on its devices.

However, according to leaks, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a USB-C 4.1 port enabling charging over 45W. Combined with expected larger batteries, this could fully charge an iPhone in under 45 minutes.

The regular iPhone 15 is still expected to use USB-C 2.1, limiting speeds to around 15-20W. But the Pro’s jump to over 45W would surpass even the latest fast-charging Samsung phones.

Other iPhone 15 expectations include new blue and titanium color options, with a lighter titanium frame on the Pros versus stainless steel.

The camera setup is rumored to stay similar to the base iPhone 15, but the Pro Max may gain a periscope telephoto lens, enabling 6x optical and 10x digital zoom. This would match the top Galaxy S Ultra zooms.

If the leaks prove accurate, the iPhone 15 Pro models could finally beat Samsung at its own game regarding charging speeds. Combined with Apple’s class-leading processors, the iPhone may retake the smartphone performance crown in 2023.

Let me know if you want me to modify or expand this draft post comparing iPhone 15 expectations versus current Samsung phones.
