The iPhone 13 would definitely benefit from faster charging speeds, so the new rumor of 25W fast charging sounds like good news. Unfortunately, however, the source does not really inspire confidence.
The rumor comes from the Chinese site MyDrivers, via 9to5 Mac, citing unnamed "foreign media." The inability to even name the outlet raises alarm bells about how reliable this source is. However, it seems unreasonable that Apple, which has already increased the charging speed of its phones for two consecutive years, would increase the charging wattage modestly for a third consecutive year. [The iPhone 11 series supported 18W charging, and recently all iPhone 12 models supported 20W charging.
An upgrade to 25W would not make the iPhone 13 a candidate for the fastest charging phone. However, the new iPhone will be in line with the charging speeds of most of its main rival Samsung Galaxy phones, including the Galaxy S21.
Also, faster charging may be a fair replacement for users who lost the charger bundled with their iPhones as of last year; if you want to power up your iPhone, you will need to use a different charging block, but buying a new one will give you the best possible speed obtain.
Also, the iPhone 13 line is rumored to have a larger battery, which would combine nicely with faster charging. All models are said to have slightly increased capacity, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is said to be the largest.
Other than charging and battery, the iPhone 13 phone series is rumored to be relatively similar to its iPhone 12 counterpart, but the Pro model is expected to have a new chipset, some small camera upgrades, and an improved display refresh rate It may be possible. In any case, we will likely find out in early September, when the next iPhone is expected to debut.
