The Cupertino company is posing many challenges for engineers in its offices, in this case and always according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Cupertino firm would be working on a 30W GaN charger that would allow devices such as the iPhone to be charged faster than it is today, what we popularly know as fast charging.
Many third-party charger brands already have made the switch to GaN chargers Due to its advantages over the previous ones, we can find this type of charger in such popular companies as Belkin, Anker, Satechi and many others.
Belkin, explains us perfectly what is this GaN (gallium nitride) chargers in case anyone doesn't know:
Gallium nitride, or GaN, is a material that is beginning to be used in semiconductors for chargers. In the early 90s it was frequently used in the manufacture of LED lights. It is also a popular material for solar cell batteries for satellites. The differentiating fact of GaN when it comes to device chargers is that it produces less heat. This means that charger components can be packed further together to reduce their size, without negatively affecting charging capacity or compliance with safety standards.
Apple's 30W charger would be released this year
In any case, it is important to note that with these new chargers, the Cupertino company ensures that users can charge their new iPhone models with ultra-fast charging and take advantage of this same charger for MacBook, MacBook Pro, iPad Air and iPad Pro. Kuo warns that the company could have this charger ready during 2022, so we will be keeping an eye on it. What also seems clear is that it will not be included in the iPhone box and its price could also be around the 25 euros that Apple's current fast charger costs.
