iPhone X2 Leak: What Are the Essential Upgrades for the New Phones?

There’s one thing that Apple did wrong with its current phones, and everyone knows that. We have new info that Apple will try to fix it with its new phones, and we are kind of very happy.

iPhones in 2019 will come with new USB-C chargers

A leak showed that Apple would give its 2019 iPhones 18W fast chargers in the box. Moreover, it has shown some diagrams of the new USB-C chargers that Apple will provide.

They’re not all moving to USB-C chargers

You might be excited for this, but the fact that Apple has decided to include USB-C chargers, that doesn’t mean that Apple is moving the iPhone to USB-C. However, iPhone X Plus, iPhone X2, and iPhone X SE, all will come with the Lightning connector, and Apple will offer USB-C for fast chargers.

With all of this in mind, the improvements for the new iPhone owners can be crucial. Having a fast charger will change things, and will deliver a 0-50% charge in about 30 minutes. The full charge can happen in 90 minutes. It’s true, it might not be the fastest available on the market, but it’s better than what the battery offers now.

Significant savings

At present, Apple has no 18W charger, thing that’s a bit weird, since that’s the confirmed maximum rate for fast charge. They do sell a 29W charger for the price of $49, and a USB-C Lightning cable (it was one meter), for $19 – 2m for $35. That means you’re going to save about $70 if you decide to buy the new iPhones and this also comes with major price cuts that Apple will make for the new iPhone X SE and iPhone X2.
