Mary,
I'm not sure your understanding of the charging level of iPhones is correct. I think it depends on the model of the iPhone being charged. You might want to take a look at the Apple Support article on USB power adapters found here and which I'm pasting after my signature: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210133 Alan Lemly About Apple USB power adapters This overview will help you identify a USB power adapter from Apple. When you need to charge your iPhone or iPad, we recommend that you use the USB power adapter and USB cable that came in the box with your device. These adapters and cables are also available separately from Apple and authorized Apple resellers. Customer safety is a top priority at Apple. That’s why all our products—including USB power adapters that come in the box with iPhone and iPad—undergo rigorous testing for safety and reliability and are designed to meet government safety standards <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210133#safety> around the world. For more information about charging your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, refer to the Safety, Handling, and Support section of the iPhone User Guide <https://support.apple.com/manuals/iphone> , iPad User Guide <https://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad> , or iPod User Guide <https://support.apple.com/manuals/ipod> . While iPod devices don't come with a power adapter in the box, you can use any of the power adapters listed below with an iPod. 5W USB power adapter Description: Description: https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/accessories/Adapters/5w-adapter-tech-spec.png iPhone 5 and later (except for iPhone 11 Pro and <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210133#18w> iPhone 11 Pro Max) come with a 5W power adapter in the box.

Many of these countries and regions, including the United States, have adopted the Safety of Information Technology Equipment standard, IEC/UL 60950-1. Apple USB power adapters are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz. The Type A (flat parallel-blade design) Apple 5W USB and 18W USB-C power adapters, as well as the 10W and 12W USB power adapters (with Type A AC plug attached) also comply with the IEC/UL 60950-1 standard for use with power sources rated to provide 115V AC at 400Hz.

But it was my understanding that the iPhone was limited, in that it can only charge at 7 1/2 watts. If that’s true, this 18 watt charger would be overkill for iPhones, because Apple won’t let them charge that fast. I’m just trying to figure out, and I think I understand correctly, that is all I have our iPhones, I really can’t do any better than my old iPad charger.

My SE was 42% charged when I plugged it into the new fast charger with the screen not locked. After 10 minutes of charging, my SE was 60% charged. After 20 minutes of charging, my SE was 74%charged. After 30 minutes of charging, my SE was 83% charged. The phone did not get overly warm during the charging process and felt no different than when plugged into the 5W charging plug that came with it. For those who are unfamiliar with USB C plugs, they are small and plug in either way just like the lightning plug. I will say the USB C plug is a bit thicker in depth than the lightning plug. I hope someone finds the above helpful. Alan Lemly -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
