If you want to fast-charge your iPhone but you don’t want to pay another $50 to Apple, we’re about to hook you up big time. That’s right, all of Apple’s iPhone models from the past two years support much faster 18W charging, but Apple doesn’t include the power adapter you need in the box. No, seriously, you can spend more than $1,500 on an iPhone XS Max and Apple still only includes a cheap 5W charger with it! Pick up an Anker 18W USB-C Wall Charger on Amazon for just $19.99, and then snag an Apple Lightning to USB-C cable for $19. With that setup, you can charge your iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus from 0% to 80% in less than an hour!
