A public service announcement (PSA) is a message in the public interest disseminated by the media without charge to raise public awareness and change behavior. Just the other day, Apple came up with another PSA: it warned iPhone users about overnight iPhone charging. Why? Because it could be dangerous if not handled properly. It could result in \u201cfire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property,\u201d as they put it.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Apple\u2019s support page says:<\/p>\n
\u2013 For example, don\u2019t sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body when it\u2019s connected to a power source. Keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to be on the paranoid side to get concerned about getting incinerated while having a wonderful dream. Or riding the plug lightning for that matter \u2013 it doesn\u2019t really matter if the outcome is the same.<\/p>\n
A proposition for you, Tim<\/p>\n
I know you\u2019re reading this, Tim (we\u2019re on a first-name basis with Tim Cook). So here\u2019s my advice: Enough with the 25W max charging speeds for the iPhone! Let\u2019s have a truly fast-charging iPhone; let\u2019s have 100W speeds!<\/p>\n
Why increase the charging speed four times? I\u2019m glad you asked. Here are three reasons why I think my idea should materialize for the upcoming iPhone 16 series:<\/p>\n
\u2013 It\u2019s fast
\n\u2013 It\u2019s fast
\n\u2013 It\u2019s fast<\/p>\n
Pretty convincing, right?<\/p>\n
Joking aside, I think fast charging on an iPhone is a good idea because this way users will have one less problem to think about. Right now they do have to think about charging their phones:<\/p>\n
\u201cOh no, I forgot to charge my iPhone last night. I was about to plug it in and tuck it under my pillow but then I remembered that Apple said that\u2019s no good. Oh my, I\u2019ve got only 3% battery left; how am I supposed to scroll TikTok now?! I\u2019m going to faint!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Everyone at a point in time<\/p>\n
So fast charging is convenient. Whoever sells convenience sells the most. And I do know for a fact that Apple wants to sell the most.<\/p>\n
And most importantly if your iPhone could be charged in the morning while you\u2019re taking a shower why do it overnight \u2013 regardless of whether there\u2019s a fire hazard?<\/p>\n
The battery on the iPhone 15 is impressive<\/p>\n
Okay enough with the Apple bashing. The battery on the iPhone is actually very decent. Sorry; I meant the battery on the iPhone 15 not the iPhone 14. Why? Well because it\u2019s stacked.
