In the new devices that Apple has recently unveiled, you can see significant changes that the company has made to its new phones. Changes that we've been discussing throughout this week.

However, something that caught our attention when these new devices were presented was the Lightning to USB connector cable that these new iPhones have. And for some reason, the company has decided not to change it, since its design is very similar to that of the iPhone 5S.

That is why we wanted to base and focus this article on a recommendation that, in addition to being very useful, will allow you to save time when it comes to charging your new devices.

Let's begin. A few days ago, a Japanese blog shared a video showing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus undergoing a rigorous charging test. Through this test, and with the help of a specialized instrument, it was discovered that Apple's new devices have a battery capacity very similar to that of the iPad.

On the other hand, this test also helped us discover that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus charge faster with an iPad charger than with their original connector cable.

And to be a bit more precise, we can tell you that in addition to offering quite optimal charging with the iPhone 6 , time also plays a very important role here. According to the tests presented, an iPhone 6 Plus could easily be charged in less than 2 hours using an iPad charger. Surprising, isn't it?

Despite this, we still don't know the reasons why Apple hasn't decided to modify its standard charger for the new iPhone 6 models , given that these devices are capable of handling higher current loads compared to previous models.

Finally, and to offer a personal opinion, we believe that while it's true an iPad charger can reduce charging time, we also believe that the long-term effect on the battery is unlikely to be very positive for its lifespan.

IMPORTANT :

Current models, such as: iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S. Indeed, they can be charged with other chargers, and even with the charger of the iPad But in this case: The recharging of the aforementioned models will always be the same as with their usual chargers.
Since neither time nor power will be visible within these devices. Something that doesn't happen with the new ones iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
